“Did you know there are at least 1500 km of salmon habitat in the lower Fraser currently blocked by aging flood infrastructure? Right now, we have a tremendous opportunity to open up this habitat as communities upgrade their flood infrastructure. Increasing access to these habitats is key to rebuilding BC’s wild salmon populations.”
