Salmon Spawning Season in Greater Victoria
Salmon spotting season is underway across Vancouver Island, with the peak expected to hit later this month. Pacific salmon are returning home to rivers and streams after travelling thousands of kilometres.
Salmon have already been spotted in Goldstream Provincial Park and up Island at Puntledge and Quinsam rivers, according to the Pacific Salmon Foundation.
(This) is turning out to be a great year to spot salmon. Ocean conditions have been favourable coupled with significant stewardship and conservation work led by First Nations, streamkeepers, and grassroots groups across B.C. The number of salmon returning to date show they are resilient.
Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO Michael Meneer encourages people to witness this incredible migration: "We hope people take the opportunity to get outdoors and visit local streams to witness this incredible migration."
