Skeena Estuary - critical salmon habitat
Show Notes

The Skeena River is the second largest salmon producing watershed in Canada and a critical part of it is the unique and highly productive estuary. The area deserves protection from future threats and is essential to the survival and resilience of salmon and cultures in this region. In this episode of 54 Degrees North, we learn more about this critical habitat as part of a series exploring salmon connections and resilience.

Interviews and insights from Yahaan (Don Wesley) and Dr. Jonathon Moore.
