In 2021, Earth Economics produced a report on the significance of Pacific salmon to the wellbeing of Indigenous communities throughout the Pacific Northwest for the Pacific Salmon Commission with the Tribal and First Nations Caucus to the Commission. Insights from 31 Indigenous representatives highlighted the importance of salmon in terms of social cohesion, personal health, livelihoods, Indigenous management, and cultural knowledge. The Special Report emphasized that conserving Pacific salmon is crucial to the integrity of both ecosystems and Indigenous cultures throughout the region.
