Animation of the Invisible Migration 

Each year hundreds of millions of tiny wild salmon smolts begin an incredible journey. These young fish swim as far as 600km's through the brown, swirling waters of the Skeena river to the sanctuary of the Skeena estuary.

Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there.

Take Action: Have your say and help protect endangered salmon runs!

From Skeena Wild:

Progress made in 2009 to protect and rebuild weak stocks of Skeena salmon, based on recommendations from the Independent Science Review Panel and harvest rules consistent with the Wild Salmon Policy, is now on the chopping block. DFO proposes to dramatically increase the mixed stock marine fishery despite scientific evidence that this increase will have serious impacts to already suffering wild sockeye in the Skeena.

Have your say and help protect endangered salmon runs!

It's not just the Skeena wild sockeye that would be impacted.

A fisheries watchdog group says the federal government's proposal to increase commercial salmon fishing this year puts pressure on endangered salmon stocks in British Columbia in the name of profits.
