In the #Elwha, #salmon are more than #fish, they’re part of culture, history, and identity. For the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, they hold deep meaning in community and tradition.
With the dams gone, Chinook are returning after more than a century; a powerful reminder of resilience and renewal.

Love the monitoring of the Elwha 🐟 and the opportune to talk to the local sierra club and talk about the history of the dam removal and nearshore ecosystems

Without NOAA, we are adrift—blind to the changing currents, unguarded against the storms, and severed from the wisdom that the ocean, in its quiet and ancient way, has always tried to teach us.

To my colleagues in the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), you are the guardians of our nation’s fisheries, ensuring that marine ecosystems remain sustainable for future generations.

Globally, NOAA scientists monitor hurricanes, forecast deadly weather, track fish populations, and watch our changing planet. From the Mariana Trench to Arctic ice, NOAA serves Americans quietly, without agenda—safeguarding lives, protecting the economy, defending our future.

Each morning, the salt-laden wind carried with it the whispered stories of the ocean—kelp forests swaying in unseen currents, gray whales tracing ancient migration paths, seabirds rising and falling with the waves. But these were not the only voices I listened to.

In places where the wild still speaks, where ancient seas breathe and life hums in the deep—unaware of human decisions determining its fate—I had the privilege of working in one such place, OCNMS, as a NOAA marine scientist.
