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.
According to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, salmon have already been spotted in Goldstream Provincial Park and up Island at Puntledge and Quinsam rivers.
We hope people take the opportunity to get outdoors and visit local streams to witness this incredible migration.
Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO Michael Meneer notes that this is turning out to be a great year to spot salmon, citing favourable ocean conditions and significant conservation work.
- Favourable ocean conditions
- Conservation work led by First Nations, streamkeepers, and grassroots groups across B.C.
