Earlier this summer, PSF funded $6,000 for the BC Conservation Foundation and the Snuneymuxw First Nation to salvage juvenile salmon in Nanaimo. So far, crews have rescued more than 5,000 fish and are working toward a plan that will allow more timed "pulse" water releases.

With PSF support, Lake Babine Fisheries are building structures that mimic beaver dams in the headwaters. These will help restore the watershed's natural ability to store water and release it slowly throughout the year.

Ever seen 30,000 steelhead enter the ocean? Earlier this summer, Steelhead Lager joined PSF to participate in a steelhead release from the Seymour River Hatchery. Now they'll spend several years at sea before coming home to spawn in local streams.
