Question

What fills in the need in the stream/ocean for salmon to have cold, clean and clear water

Answer 1

The salmon is among the most revered of coastal animals, for its cultural and spiritual importance to First Nations, its world-famous tasty flesh, and its role in the historical economy of BC. The most common salmon in our local waters are Chum and Coho. All Pacific salmon species are anadromous, meaning they spend most of their life in the ocean but migrate to fresh water to breed. Consequently they interact with several different ecosystems, and play important roles in terrestrial, freshwater and marine food webs.
