From cod to salmon: when do we ever learn?

British Columbia may have no other animal as iconic as the wild  salmon. Creature of deep forest streams, raging rivers and open ocean, the wild salmon feeds the ecosystem from soil to grizzly, sustaining jobs and culture. That such an emblematic species should be struggling for survival speaks volumes about the state of our whole living world.

Another suspect is climate change. BC rivers are running warmer and  salmon are very sensitive to even slight changes in temperature. At sea the impacts of climate change are also a threat.
