August 16, 2022 — The 2022 edition of Senior Salmon Day was held in the small remote fishing community of Cordova, Alaska, in early July.
Home to the Copper River Prince William Sound commercial fishing fleet of 550 small independent fisherman, Cordova is where fishermen launch their boats to catch the regional king, sockeye, coho, keta and pink salmon. It’s also where many of these independent family fishermen choose to share a portion of their treasured catch to seniors and students during the season’s designated donation days.
