Without the Salmon there would be no Pacific Northwest as we know it.

Yet since 1991, most of the salmon runs in the Northwest have been listed as threatened or endangered. This spring on the Columbia River the fewest fish in years are returning upstream to spawn.

Producer Barbara Bernstein takes us on a journey into the land of salmon, why they are so significant and what it will take to keep them from disappearing.

SALMONLAND is now available on CD and costs $12.

Order from: Feather & Fin Productions, P.O. Box 82777, Portland, Oregon 97282.
