About LLTK

Long Live the Kings (LLTK) is a public 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to restoring wild salmon and steelhead to the waters of the Pacific Northwest. 

A keystone of our state's economy and culture as well as our ecology, salmon are threatened by the loss of habitat, over-harvest, and short-sighted hatchery management. Climate change and a growing human population have accelerated the salmon's decline. With fewer financial resources available to our state, tribal, and federal management agencies it's now more important than ever that our salmon recovery strategies are coordinated, strategic and effective.

LLTK helps those who make decisions about salmon to be successful. We pursue projects and partnerships that compel coordinated, scientifically-credible, and transparent changes to harvest, hatchery, and habitat management to protect and restore wild salmon. We bring innovative tools, proven processes, and a track record of success to each of our projects. With our non-government partners, we build new and necessary constituencies and support for change.
