A hybrid art gallery, information center and gift shop, the Sustina Salmon Center is dedicated to educating the public about salmon and advocating for sustainable (or is it Sustina-ble?) fisheries. It offers a few aquarium tanks, plenty of reading material, and biologist-led nature walks (usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30am; call for details).
