Redd Fish Restoration Society (Redd Fish) is a registered charity focused on restoration, research, and education. For over 28 years, Redd Fish (formerly Central Westcoast Forest Society) has worked with the nuučaanuł Nations in Clayoquot, Nootka, and Barkley Sound on ecological restoration in their hahuułi (territory).

Our leadership is composed of a board of directors with appointed representation from the five Nations in the region including the hiškʷiiʔatḥ (Hesquiaht) Nation, ʕaaḥuusʔatḥ (Ahousaht) Nation, ƛaʔuukʷiʔatḥ (Tla-o-qui-aht) Nation, Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ (Ucluelet) Government, and tukʷaaʔatḥ (Toquaht) Nation Government. Together our mission is to use the best available science, technology, and Indigenous ecological knowledge to restore damaged coastal ecosystems and rebuild wild salmon populations.
