This project promotes restoration, protection and maintenance of healthy and diverse salmon populations and their habitats.They work by monitoring & sampling & weighing juvenile salmon using hands on methods of pull seining and beach seining.This work happens in the Northern Arm of the San Juan Estuary in the Pacheedaht First Nation Territory.It is being done to monitor sockeye, chum, and coho salmon habitats and their life migrational roots with awareness to the impacts that colonization has had on the land. They do this work alongside the Elected Chief and the Fisheries Manager  of Pacheedaht First Nations. This work is happening during the late spring and early summer months where we were able to see the salmon berries blossoming from pink flowers to juicy berries.
