Keith Parker of the Yurok Tribe says the river is the life blood of his culture.

Keith Parker, a fish biologist of the Yurok Tribe, says the river is the life blood of his culture. Many religious ceremonies revolve around the river because it supports salmon and dozens of other species critical to the ecosystem. Parker describes the cycle in which salmon pass along marine derived nutrients to their predators.
