Active work to fix an existing channel to improve spawning opportunities for salmonids. Restoration in the making at Fishtrap Channel in Maria Slough, Agassiz, BC will lead to more stream complexity, large woody debris, two holding ponds, and a narrower, deeper channel.

A common loon with freshly caught rainbow trout. Unfortunately it was too big for the chicks.
Perhaps nothing signifies the health of aquatic environment better than the presence of loons.

These tiny ocean drifters, called Velella velella, have showed up in increasing numbers along the west coast of Vancouver Island. These “by-the-wind sailors” are small, jellyfish-like hydrozoan that are typically found in warmer ocean waters but have washed up on British Columbia’s beaches, possibly due to rising sea temperatures linked to climate change. Their presence highlights the importance of protecting and restoring our coastal ecosystems for a sustainable future.

Waiting for the chinook to show up on the Little Tahltan, one of the main spawning grounds. We count them through a weir that has a camera in a box, so we’re not touching or stressing them out. In the past, we used to handle them, but not anymore.
