Found extensively along the North American Pacific Coast, these salmon are renowned for their size and are highly valued for sport fishing and commercial harvest. Each year, Chinook salmon return to their spawning grounds in freshwater rivers where they were born, undergoing a remarkable transformation in color and form as they prepare for the final stage of their lives. This migration plays a crucial role in the river ecosystem as it supports the river's health by bringing nutrients from the ocean. Despite facing challenges such as habitat degradation and climate change, Chinook salmon continue to symbolize resilience and the interconnectedness of nature. ***
