In the Pacific Northwest, Center for Food Safety fights to protect clean water and wild places from industrial agriculture and aquaculture—particularly the use of pesticides and contamination from factory farm animal waste—to benefit threatened and endangered species, including fish like salmon and green sturgeon, mammals like orcas, birds like the snowy plover and marbled murrelet, reptiles like sea turtles, invertebrates like the Fender's blue butterfly, and plants like the Willamette daisy.
Species we're protecting:
Chinook salmon (Columbia River and Puget Sound populations)
Hood Canal Summer Run Chum salmon
Green sturgeon (lower Columbia River estuary, Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor)
Puget Sound steelhead
Southern resident Killer Whale
Monarch butterfly
