coho salmon

coho salmon
A species of salmon that has been the subject of conservation efforts and legal wrangling in recent years. Traditionally found in coastal streams and rivers on the West Coast and in the Pacific Ocean, many coho salmon populations are in steep decline, and some have been listed for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as “endangered,” “threatened,” and “species of concern.” At various times — including in a number of high-profile federal court decisions — ESA protections for certain coho salmon populations have been challenged, removed, and restored.
