DESCRIPTION:Join us for the SalmonAid Festival to celebrate wild salmon and steelhead 
 with a free, family-friendly, music festival in Oakland's famed Jack London 
 Square\n\nOrganized by the largest ever coalition of West Coast salmon 
 advocates (including commercial, recreational and tribal fishermen, 
 conservation organizations, chefs, restaurants, scientists, and many 
 others), SalmonAid will raise awareness of the plight of west coast salmon 
 populations, the rivers and streams they spawn in, and the many coastal and 
 inland communities that rely on salmon for their livelihoods and survival. 
 The festival will feature educational booths, activities and foods 
 highlighting the natural history of salmon, as well as the history, culture 
 and traditions of salmon towns and the peoples connected through our west 
 coast salmon heritage - from Morro Bay, California to Bellingham, 
 Washington, and inland to Idaho and Nevada.\n\nBy uniting commercial, 
 tribal, and sportfishing interests with conservation organizations, chefs 
 and restaurant owners, and the American consumer to celebrate and restore 
 our wild salmon and healthy, free-flowing rivers, SalmonAid will inform the 
 public about the historic, cultural, economic, dietary, and environmental 
 benefits of healthy wild salmon populations and the threats to their 
 continued existence. SalmonAid celebrates wild Pacific salmon as a valuable 
 cultural resource for all Americans, an important economic resource for 
 west Coast fishing communities, an exciting recreational fishing 
 experience, a nutritious food source, and a vital ecological link between 
 our freshwater and marine ecosystems. In addition, SalmonAid will raise 
 funds to support education and habitat restoration efforts directed at 
 re-establishing abundant wild, native Pacific salmon populations in Pacific 
 coast watersheds.\n\n\n
