A good piece on a a difficult topic.
Difficult because of the the broad support hatcheries have enjoyed and the countless volunteer hours that so many well intentioned people have invested in them. The evidence, however, is that they harm rather than help wild fish stocks - particularly the large Chinook that the Southern Resident Orcas need.
Opinion: More salmon hatcheries will not help killer whales or chinook
The rush to focus on a conjectural quick fix in the form of increased hatchery production is symptomatic of the failure of current management to address past mismanagement of chinook populations co…I remember learning this years ago at Malaspina. It has surprised me ever since that hatcheries still get broad support, even among people who should know better
Great employment opportunity with one of the groups most active in aquatic habitat restoration in the Fraser Valley. We have worked with them for years on lots of projects.We are looking for a technician who loves to get outside to join our team!

Not that I am aware of.
