While Canadian marine commercial fisheries at the mouth of the Skeena ended on August 3rd in response to a declining in-season return estimate of Skeena sockeye, Southeast Alaskan fishers are in the peak of an aggressive year of harvest – intercepting and killing millions of salmon bound for BC waters. Thanks to the abundance of pink salmon across the north coast this year, Southeast Alaskan seine fisheries alone have already harvested nearly 14 million salmon - more than double the rate of harvest from this time last year - and the season is not over yet. But it’s not just Alaskan salmon they are harvesting… over 2 million Canadian salmon have likely been intercepted as they try to make their way back home.

It’s hot in the Skeena! Like much of the province, we are seeing unusually high temperatures and low water levels throughout the region… and it’s only the start of August. A combination of warming ocean temperatures, early snowpack melt, low and warm water temperatures have set the stage for what could be a challenging year for Skeena salmon and steelhead.

Between 2019 to 2020, the provincial government cancelled over 1.3 million acres (nearly double the size of Metro Vancouver) of land designated under the Provincial Land Act for conservation and recreational use in northwest B.C. that residents hold dear. These cancellations put valued habitats at risk of being removed from public lands, logged or impacted by industrial development, including popular recreational areas such as Klinger Lake, Tyee Mountain, Atlin, and the Stewart estuaries.
