HISTORY OF THE SALMON RESTORATION ASSOCIATION


The Salmon Restoration Association (SRA), a non-profit corporation, was formed in 1970 by public-spirited people of the Fort Bragg and Mendocino Coast area who had become justifiably concerned at the steady deterioration of salmon runs off our North Coast and the consequent decline in the catch by both sport and commercial fishermen. Today our Board of Directors consists of anglers, local business people, retirees, biologists, artists, environmentalists, journalists and building contractors.
The goal of the SRA is to restore the once great salmon runs to the numbers reported at the turn of the century and to educate the public about the biological, social and economical benefits salmon play in our communities. This goal is accomplished by maintaining a spawning and rearing facility for King (Chinook) salmon on the Eel River at Hollow Tree Creek and educating the public through the press and at public events. Salmon Restoration Association efforts are funded by public donations, contributions from commercial and sport fishing interests, grants for the California Department of Fish and Game and the proceeds from our annual fundraiser, the “World’s Largest Salmon BBQ”.
The BBQ is put on through the efforts of service clubs and fraternal organizations, community churches, the Salmon Troller’s Marketing Association, Noyo Women for Fisheries, local fish processors and many businesses and citizens of the greater Fort Bragg area.

The BBQ will be held on July 7and SRA will maintain the same price for tickets as last year, $20.00.
