Research presented suggests that decreased marine survival of coho may be linked to an earlier Spring.
To bring traditional and local knowledge, emerging science and commitment together to develop an innovative recovery strategy for lower Fraser coho salmon, Musqueam Fisheries Commission and Pacific Salmon Foundation co-hosted a February 22 workshop "Pulling Together, Making a Difference." Discussions at the workshop included information about the sacred connections between First Nations and coho, the Wild Salmon Policy, needs for mapping habitat, habitat restoration, marine survival of coho, community and partnerships active in the issues. The afternoon was devoted to identifying options and opportunities for committed action to address the many issues around habitat and water.

April Foolery is linked to Springtime, a custom that originates with the abundance of fish to be found in French streams during early April when the young fish had just hatched. These young fish were easy to fool with a hook and lure. Therefore, the French called them 'Poisson d'Avril' or 'April Fish.' Soon it became customary to fool people on April 1, as a way of celebrating the abundance of foolish fish. Thanks to: Louise Towell, Stream of Dreams Murals Society
