Who We Are & What We Do

The Regional Fisheries Coalition (RFC) supports and advocates for the Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups (RFEGs) in their missions of salmon recovery.

Each of the state’s 14 RFEGs is a separate, local, nonprofit organization with its own board of directors and is supported by its members. RFEGs create partnerships with landowners, tribes, local businesses, volunteers, agencies, and other non-governmental organizations to lead their communities in successful restoration, education, and monitoring projects.  Each RFEG has representation on the RFC.
