Leading Salmon Research in our Oceans
PSF’s Marine Science Program carries out cutting-edge oceanic research, advancing knowledge of Pacific salmon and the challenges they face in their marine environment.
PSF and BC Conservation Foundation’s Bottlenecks to Survival study is set to continue for three more years, supported by the B.C. Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund.
This project wouldn’t be possible without a committed group of volunteers who have dedicated their time collecting and monitoring data to support this research.
These volunteers are supporting PSF and BCCF’s marine scientists to investigate low salmon and steelhead survival rates in the Salish Sea. The volunteers use their recreational fishing boats to help tag juvenile fish so researchers can track their migrations and find out how many fish are successfully returning to spawn.
