Podcasts about pink salmon

KIm Paulley/CKTZ News -The latest salmon returns are in for 2023 and two streamkeepers from the region have made observations about the different populations. A great year for Pink Salmon was the good news. Poor returns for Chum were noted by both streamkeepers. Janet Gemmell, a streamkeeper, president of Courtenays Morrison Creek Streamkeepers, and a former resident of Carrington Bay on Cortes island, spoke with CKTZ about the Comox Valley. Gemmell highlighted why Morrison Creek is a very important salmon habitat and also spoke about her recent visit to Carrington Bay this past summer where she spotted Coho fry. CKTZ also caught up with Christine Robinson, Streamkeeper for Friends of Cortes Island. Robinson provided data for this year's Cortes Chum Run and reflected on Gemmell's Coho-spotting in Carrington Bay. For more information on the state of salmon, go to the Pacific Salmon Foundation's website for further information.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Cortes Currents was mistaken in the original version of this story. The Chum run did not come into Basil Creek early this year – these are Pinks. According to Cortes Island Streamkeeper Christine Robinson there have not been any Pink runs on Cortes since 2015, but there was a huge surplus this year.  Pinks are known to stray and find creeks other than their natal streams, and this may be an explanation for their presence on Cortes Island. They started to turn up in Squirrel Cove Creek two to three weeks ago, and Basil Creek and Chris' Lagoon around Sept 28, but there does not appear to be enough water in the creeks for them. Cortes Currents examined Basil Creek on Oct 2. A cloud of Turkey Vultures, gulls and crows fled at our approach. Judging from the condition of the dead fish, their feast had only recently begun. Many settled on the nearby ancient wreck to wait until we leave. The crows are voicing their outrage at our intrusion.  Four, or more, sea lions are feasting in the deeper waters of Squirrel Cove.  While the rains appear to have started, the water has still not risen much and the trail of dead and stranded Pink salmon does not go far up Basil Creek. Dozens of fish have attempted to swim upstream, but were not able to penetrate much further than the trees. Robinson said a couple of fish may have beyond this point and it is too early to know if any spawned. Far more are circling just beyond the mouth of the creek, waiting for an opportunity to swim upstream, but the tide is receding and there is so little water in the creek bed that it is a barrier. Further down the beach, a solitary Pink salmon is circling in a tidal pool. Baby crabs are feasting on one of his mates who was trapped by the last receding tide. We decided to rescue the salmon. After several attempts to grasp its slimy wriggling body, I gave up on the attempt. My daughter, Amy Forest, was more persistent. The Pink squirmed out of her clutches several times then grounded itself. This provided her with the opportunity to pick it up. From there it is only a few steps to the ocean and freedom.  The Chum run is expected to arrive around the middle of this month and should continue into November. If there is an abundance of Chum, it could last longer. The long range weather forecast shows some rain in the next two weeks. How long will it take for the level of Basil Creek to rise? Will it be on time for this year's Chum run?   Is there anything Cortes residents can do that will enable the salmon population's survival? While she is not a hydrologist, Robinson says one thing people could do to help is watch their water consumption and the effect it has on the water table. We are entering into a period of drier summers, when there is less water available.  This will have a direct impact upon the water table, creek levels and the survival of salmon.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Very little water is trickling through Basil Creek, where Cortes Island's principal Chum run occurs in late October. There have been few days of rain on Cortes since May, and some of the area's shallow wells stopped producing in July. Only about 10 Chum were seen in Basil Creek during the 2022 drought. Unless water levels rise, this may be the second year in a row when there is not a creek for the Chum return.  
 According to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, BC is going through ‘one of the most extreme periods of drought in recorded history.'  
 Jason Hwang explained, “Past droughts in B.C. were isolated to specific areas and watersheds. But this year, drought is an everywhere problem. Even the wettest areas in B.C. are seeing dry and hot conditions. We are seeing significant impacts on salmon-bearing rivers and streams. Salmon returning to their freshwater habitats are facing these extreme drought stressors. It's the equivalent of trying to run a marathon in a sauna.” 
 DFO Communications Advisor Alexandra Coutts emailed Cortes Currents that  Area #13, which includes Cortes, Quadra and Sonora Islands as well as Campbell River, is one of the many areas still in the midst of a level 5 drought.   
 Quadra based reporter Rochelle Baker observed this is the third year in a row. 
 Anecdotal evidence suggests this year's Pink Salmon runs in the Campbell River and Quinsam River are strong, as they were in 2022, but this may not be true of outlying areas. 
 Coutts wrote, “It is too early to comment on returns at this time. However, early indications for systems where fish are able to get through are promising. Salmon runs will continue into the late fall. Data will be collected, validated and then published.”   “In recent years extreme environmental conditions experienced in southern and central British Columbia during the summer have negatively affected Pacific salmon.”    “Prolonged periods of heat and lack of precipitation have resulted in droughts and associated dewatering of important fish habitats, reduced oxygen levels and delayed or impeded migration to salmon spawning areas in freshwater systems and have resulted in pre-spawn mortality.”    “In a growing number of watersheds, in-river water temperatures have exceeded upper thermal tolerances for salmon resulting in pre-spawn mortality.”     “Lower than average snowpack in southern British Columbia and long-range forecasts indicate salmon survival is likely to be impacted by prolonged periods of heat and drought (June through October).”     “It is common for fish habitat to dry up/disconnect during the dry, warm summer months. This can cause adult salmon or salmon fry to be trapped in isolated pools, with the potential for mortality due to loss of water, lack of oxygen, warm water temperatures, lack of food, and increased exposure to predation.”      “DFO has been actively engaged and working with Indigenous, Community and NGO partners on local interventions where possible to address drought related issues for salmon. This work includes hands-on work such as addressing extreme drought related strandings and migration blockages as well as providing advice to partners. The wide geographic extent of drought impacts will mean that direct intervention is not possible in every case. DFO is also working with the Province of B.C. as the lead jurisdiction for water management during times of drought.”

The 2022 Seattle Salmon Season was very good. We had excellent returns and the Salmon were bigger than most years because of positive ocean conditions with plenty of bait and food. The 2023 season is expecting to be a repeat of the 2022 season but with the addition of huge Pink Salmon runs that come once every 2 years. If you want to experience what it is like to fish in Alaska then come to Seattle this summer and go on a charter with Big King Salmon Charters. The action is going to be fast and furious and we are expecting plenty of fish for everyone. Contact Us to Book your 2023 trips .....

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents -More than 11,000 Pink Salmon are said to have returned to the Ahta River this September. This is more fish than the river has seen for many years and Alexandra Morton believes this is because Glacier Falls and Burdwood salmon farms were removed from their migration route. She is not the only one suggesting that this year's numbers are a result of removing salmon farms from the Broughton Archipelago. In August, Chief Bob Chamberlain of the First Nations Wild Salmon Alliance told the Vancouver Sun they haven't seen these numbers in decades. Ruth Salmon, Interim Executive Director at the BC Salmon Farmers Association, calls this statement a mixture of ‘misrepresentation' and ‘speculation.'

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The drought conditions settling throughout the West Coast are another example of what Fisheries and Oceans Canada has identified as the #1 threat to BC's endangered salmon population. “While there are many stressors that affect Pacific salmon survival, climate change is rapidly superseding these threats,” DFO media spokesperson Lara Sloan emailed Cortes Currents. A recent twitter video shows thousands of dead salmon in spread out across the bottom of an almost dried up creek. Their corpses are so think that you cannot take a step without treading on them. Sloan explained, “On October 4, 2022, the Heiltsuk First Nation identified the death of approximately 63,000 adult Pink and Chum salmon in Neekas Creek which is located approximately 25 km north of Bella Bella.” On Wednesday, October 5, the City of Nanaimo released water from its reservoir to help the Chinook run stranded in the tidal portion of the Nanaimo River. The augmented flow will enable them to reach their spawning grounds. It will taper off on the weekend of October 8-9. It may be a little early for the Chum to return to Basil Creek on Cortes Island. They seem to have arrived towards the end of the month last year. In 2020 Christine Robinson wrote they ‘began to come into the creek on October 17.' There were no signs of any fish, when I walked along the bank this morning. To my untrained eye, it is difficult to image salmon passing through the immense bed of rocks at the creek's mouth. There is only a narrow trickle of water. “Vancouver Island has been experiencing an extended period of dry weather.  Coupled with warmer water temperatures, current conditions for salmon in smaller river systems are generally poor, and there is unlikely to be sufficient rain to improve conditions in the next week to 10 days,” wrote Sloan. “A small number of river systems where water flow is controlled are experiencing water levels more typical for this time of year (e.g. Cowichan, Campbell, Qualicum and Stamp Rivers…).” Rochelle Baker of the National Observer recently donned a wetsuit to swim among the abundant Pink Salmon run in the Campbell River. Sloan warned that it may become necessary to reduce the flows of these less effected rivers, if drought conditions persist. “In general, we are not seeing fish moving into systems in the area, rather they are staging in front of rivers, or in deep pools in rivers where accessible.  Some species have commenced spawning (e.g. Pink Salmon or early-timed populations of Chum and Chinook Salmon), but their eggs are likely safe, provided they remain moist through groundwater or subsurface flows,” she wrote. “The planet is warming, and the most recent five years have been the warmest on record. In Canada, the rate of warming has been twice the global average and is even greater at northern latitudes.  Stemming historic declines and rebuilding key Pacific salmon populations are the overarching goals of the historic $647 million Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative (PSSI) launched in June 2021. PSSI represents the largest-ever Government of Canada investment to save Pacific salmon. We need to take action toward stemming the declines now, while helping to rebuild adaptable populations over the longer term.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Large numbers of pink salmon are returning to our area this summer. “I am seeing these pink salmon return – their numbers appear huge, they are leaping everywhere, finning along the surface for hundreds of kilometers,” emailed independant biologist Alexandra Morton. Lara Sloan, a communications advisor with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), wrote they are expecting a strong return to the Campbell River, based on the strong outmigration from the 2020 brood, cooler ocean temperatures and better food. She added, “The numbers of pink salmon in the Campbell River are similar to 2020 at this stage.” Streamkeeper Cec Robinson pointed out that there isn't a pink run on Cortes Island. “Sometimes on a big pink year, a few ‘vagabonds' stray into our creeks, but not on a regular basis.” A few showed up in Basil Creek during 2015. There have been some good pink runs on Quadra Island in recent years. A couple of dozen fishermen were strung out along the banks of the Campbell River, when Cortes Currents dropped by on July 28. One of them remarked that the pinks seemed unusually small. Sloan disagreed, “the fish are bigger than last year and 2020.” “The 2022 Return are from the 2020 Brood who went out in 2021 where ocean conditions had significantly improved and more conducive to improved salmon survival. Pink fry leaving the Quinsam in 2021 were estimated just under 11 million natural production along with just over 4 million of hatchery supplementation (Total Production of ~15 million contribution to the 2022 return).” Morton pointed to the removal of fish farms from the Discovery Islands, “These are the first generation of salmon to return after swimming through the salmon farm clearances in the spring of 2021. I counted the lice on pinks that spring and issued the huge thank you to Bernadette Jordan because they were so clean.” She added, “Clearly ocean conditions were exceptionally good, so this (strong Pink Run) is a combination of factors.”
