Good news for salmon! The new Carey Island Conservation Area safeguards some of the most important habitat for salmon and sturgeon within BC’s Fraser River. The island’s gravelly shorelines and side channels create excellent spawning grounds. Learn more: https://t.co/Iu5EdcUscO

Checkout the size of these V3 acoustic tags ! These will work great for tagging juvenile #Chinook to evaluate the #TAST non lethal mammal deterrent . . . if we can figure out how to program a set of extremely challenging HR receivers!⏱️🥲 @WDFW @HellstromKGV @OceansInitiativ

Excited to see this important data gap filled and appreciative of all the anglers that were supportive of complex fishing regulations to get the study design off the ground. 🙌 @WDFW

What’s killing coho this fall? ☠️ In urban areas, roads collect toxins that wash into streams during storms. This pollution can be lethal for salmon. PSF is working closely with partners to apply #NatureBasedSolutions like rain gardens. https://t.co/PPebccREPx

A new technique for undoing the terrible damage caused by historic dredging. Dead wood to be buried within the new gravel riverbed. Kickstarting bacterial action, restoring natural, pollution-treating biological processes. This is “hyporheic” #RiverRestoration! #ChalkStream
