Agency Mission: Our mission is to protect and enhance Oregon's fish and wildlife and their habitats for use and enjoyment by present and future generations.

Fish Division Mission: The Department is charged by statute (ORS 506.036) to protect and propagate fish in the state. This includes direct responsibility for regulating harvest of fish, protection of fish, enhancement of fish populations through habitat improvement, and the rearing and release of fish into public waters. ODFW operates hatcheries throughout the state to provide fish for program needs.

The State of Oregon maintains conservation and recovery plans for populations of salmon and steelhead listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Plans provide a framework and roadmap for conservation and recovery. The ODFW Salmon and Steelhead Recovery Tracker website provides information on status assessments for Oregon's salmon and steelhead populations.

The Recovery Tracker website was designed for the public to explore salmon and steelhead populations and access critical underlying data. It's a first step in helping the state open its information to the public in an easy-to-use platform. Users can explore and download information related to salmon and steelhead conservation and recovery in Oregon.
