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 traveling thousands of kilometers.
According to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, salmon have already been spotted in Goldstream Provincial Park and in the 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, thanks to favorable ocean conditions and conservation efforts.
- Favorable ocean conditions
- Significant stewardship and conservation work by First Nations, streamkeepers, and grassroots groups across B.C.
