Introducing Salmon Beyond Borders' Campaign Coordinator: Bre Walker

I first came to Alaska for a visit with my family in 2011. During that fateful trip I caught my first wild Alaskan salmon on a stream outside of Cordova. and at that moment, I knew Alaska and it’s wild salmon had me hooked.
​
I grew up swimming, snorkeling, fishing and exploring the thousands of freshwater lakes in Northern Minnesota, sparking my love of fish and water at an early age. I moved to Juneau in 2015 to work as a naturalist and quickly decided to stay, transferring to the University of Alaska Southeast, where I studied fisheries, environmental science, and social sciences.

​I first learned about the transboundary issue in a class at UAS, I've been a supporter ever since. It is an honor to have the opportunity to work to defend and sustain the shared salmon rivers of Alaska and British Columbia and the jobs and ways of life they support.

When I’m not at work I can be found hiking, fishing, or skiing, or in the garden with my dog Scordato.

Feel free to reach out to me anytime with questions, concerns, or if you are looking to be more involved with SBB at: breanna@salmonstate.org
