The Stillaguamish Tribe lives in Washington state, USA. They are buying land to help nature. In the past, people built long walls called levees to stop water. Now, the tribe is removing these walls. They want to change farmland back into wetlands. A wetland is a place with a lot of water. This is important for animals. The tribe wants to help wild Chinook salmon. These fish need healthy places to live and grow. This work is called restoration. It means making nature healthy again.
In Norway, the situation is different. Norway is the biggest producer of farmed salmon in the world. A new report says there is a problem with the water. Large fish farms create a lot of waste. The fish eat food, and then they produce waste in the sea. This waste goes into fjords. A fjord is a deep part of the ocean between cliffs. This waste is called pollution. The report says the pollution is very high. It is like the sewage from millions of people. This is bad for the ocean and the animals there.
These two stories show two different things. The Stillaguamish Tribe is protecting nature. They are fixing the land to help wild fish. In Norway, the salmon industry is making a lot of waste. This is an industrial problem. One group is healing the earth, but the other group is accidentally hurting the water. We must care for our water and animals to have a good future.
