How flood upgrades could save wild salmon in British Columbia
How flood upgrades could save wild salmon in British Columbia
www.nationalobserver.com
As B.C. gears up to pour millions into infrastructure after recovering from November's atmospheric river, an opportunity awaits to make flood systems more fish-friendly.
Fish salvage in flooded farm fields near Whatcom Road today with Sema:th First Nation and Sto:lo Guardians. After striking out in the morning, we found coho adults along Nelles Road in the afternoon. They were wild (not hatchery) and in surprisingly good shape after being trapped for weeks. They are now swimming up the Sumas River to spawn.
Thanks to Danya Douglas, Dion Weisbrod, Amanda Gawor and Erin Weckworth, who hauled the seine for hours, and to Pacific Salmon Foundation for support.
