Coho salmon are one of several salmon species that live along the Pacific Coast of North America. They provide nutrients for many other organisms especially when they return to their natal streams to spawn. Their population has declined primarily due to the increase in the number of human-constructed dams. This has disrupted the nutrient cycle and caused a decline in other animals such as killer whales and bears.
