THINK SALMON FEATURES


Wild Pacific Salmon

Wild Pacific salmon are a cornerstone of our environmental, cultural and economic strength in British Columbia.

Should wild Pacific salmon be an official symbol of British Columbia?

The Pacific Salmon Foundation, Fraser Basin Council and Living Rivers - Georgia Basin / Vancouver Island are inviting people from across British Columbia to express their views on a proposal to designate wild Pacific salmon as an official provincial symbol. They will receive and post comments until September 30 and will relay all submissions to the Province of BC.

This week: Salmon as nourishment.

Our watersheds in the Fraser Basin are valuable ecosystems, and salmon are their lifeblood. Learn how the provincial Living Rivers programs such as FSWP build partnerships to conserve and restore the balance between these watersheds and human activity.

Think Salmon is a way of life. It's how we think, learn and act. It's how we protect and conserve the rivers and places where salmon and humans live.
