Excitement in B.C. Indigenous communities as salmon get past Fraser slide zone
Thousands of migrating sockeye and chinook salmon are making their way over a massive rock slide on British Columbia’s Fraser River this summer where barely 100 fish were counted for the entire season three years ago, Fisheries and Oceans officials said Friday.
About 110,000 cubic metres of rock fell into the river’s canyon, creating an almost impassable barrier for migrating salmon. “It just sort of helps their cultural values and brings a sort of excitement to the communities, and I can say there’s many communities in the Upper Fraser now that are very excited that there’s fish returning,” he said.
