Salmon Spawning Season in Vancouver Island
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 travelling thousands of kilometres.
According to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, salmon have already been spotted in Goldstream Provincial Park and up Island at Puntledge and Quinsam rivers.
"(This) is turning out to be a great year to spot salmon,"
said Michael Meneer, foundation president and CEO. He added that favourable ocean conditions and conservation work by First Nations, streamkeepers, and grassroots groups have contributed to the resilience of the salmon population.
"We hope people take the opportunity to get outdoors and visit local streams to witness this incredible migration."
Greater Victoria sites are prime viewing spots for this phenomenon, making it an ideal time for outdoor enthusiasts to witness the salmon's journey.
