It’s Wild Salmon Tattoo Friday at Save Our Wild Salmon. This awesome ink is from Keith Nevison of the Society for Ecological Restoration - Northwest Chapter (SERNW)
On "EarthFix" we're doing a lot of environmental news coverage on salmon issues around the Pacific Northwest from river restoration projects to dam removals to federal policy updates. We've created this space to share ~other~ kinds of salmon content.
We want to see your photos, recipes, jokes, stories and whatever else interesting, fun and wacky you've come up with. We'll post the best stuff submitted and others we've "Tumbled" upon. Send submissions by clicking the pencil above or send them to "Toni at EarthFix".

Together with the PBS NewsHour and KCTS 9, EarthFix recently visited the Swinomish Indian reservation to learn how they are preparing.
More on this story including photos, maps and graphics at EarthFix.

The Pebble Mine in Alaska is causing even an “ideal redneck Republican” like legislator Rick Halford to come out against it.
Source:Rick Halford is a “manifest destiny” kind of Alaskan. He cleared his land with dynamite. He calls himself the “ideal redneck Republican”. As a longtime leader in the state legislature, he never met a hard-rock mine he didn’t like.
That is, until he took a long look at the proposed Pebble Mine in south-west Alaska. It is a phenomenal prospect, the biggest and richest in North America. But to dig a mine there is to make a Faustian bargain that involves an agonizing Alaskan twist.
In return for copper and gold worth an estimated $500bn (£320bn), state and federal regulators risk poisoning what scientists describe as the last best place on earth for millions of wild salmon.
