Asked about the discharge of copper and aluminum, @Peter_S_Ross, senior scientist and director of #water pollution at the @Raincoast told @squamishchief that #salmon are highly sensitive to copper, “which interferes with osmoregulation and olfaction, impairing ability to find their natal stream.”squamishchief.com/local-news/bc-…

Returning salmon support not only aquatic life, but also terrestrial wildlife like wolves, who rely on marine nutrients to sustain themselves and help distribute those nutrients across the landscape. At the upcoming annual Fingerling Festival, we’ll be using visuals like these to share how understanding these connections can help inform conservation and stewardship efforts across the region. raincoast.org/event/fingerli…

.@Duffling, biologist and wild salmon program director with @Raincoast, argues the Alaskan Chinook fishery “deprives endangered southern resident killer whales of their primary food source.” #orcas #salmon thenarwhal.ca/alaska-bc-fish…

Many critics argue Alaska takes too many salmon and is harming populations — but it’s easier to find Alaska-caught fish in B.C. stores and Alaskan salmon fisheries have global sustainability certification that B.C. salmon fisheries don’t. What gives? thenarwhal.ca/alaska-bc-fish…

For over a century, vessel traffic has been steadily increasing, flooding #KillerWhale habitat with noise. Don’t let them go unheard. Help us give killer whales a voice. raincoast.org/voice/

.@Duffling with the @Raincoast wild salmon program said Tuesday that she is hoping that the funding can go toward advancing selective #fisheries, which would avoid the mixing of wild and hatchery stocks that exposes wild #salmon to risks associated with certain types of fishing. timescolonist.com/local-news/fed… via @timescolonist

Feds' $412.9M renewal of Pacific #Salmon Initiative cautiously welcomed: Groups say funds should be spent on monitoring efforts, advancing selective fisheries cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
