Landslide may impact salmon runs
NORTHERN BC – A landslide last week has caused a great deal of concern, including to those who are raising red flags over the impacts on the salmon runs. But there’s good news and bad on that front.
“The upside is that we know that some Chinook were already passed before the slide happened,” says Dustin Snyder with the Spruce City Wildlife Association. “So I believe it’s the Chinook stock that already had access to the spawning grounds. There is another run of sockeye and Chinook that will be headed up to where they are supposed to be headed up now.”
