Amateur and professional scientists on the Island are invited to share knowledge about salmon, and how to better protect them.
UBC’s Institute for Oceans and Fisheries is hosting three events on Vancouver Island next week. They are being managed by Dr. Brian Riddell, a world-renowned expert on Pacific salmon.
The Salmon Dialogues aim to collect local knowledge from communities and salmon scientists with the goal of more effectively rebuilding Pacific salmon production on the coast.
There are 14 dialogues being scheduled around BC.
Organizers hope they will help encourage more open communication and collaboration to rebuild Pacific salmon stocks, and identify what actions should be top priority.
