New research shows the impact log booms have on salmon habitats in the Fraser Estuary The study found that log booms impact physical habitat, water quality, and invertebrates in the lower Fraser River and Estuary. #FraserRiver #Estuary Raincoast Conservation Foundation raincoast.org/2024/08/log-bo…

New research shows the impact log booms have on #salmon habitats in the Fraser Estuary. Conducted across the Lower Fraser and Estuary in 2019-20, it's one of the only studies to look at potential impacts on #habitat from log booms. David Scott raincoast.org/2024/08/log-bo…

We have ethical responsibilities to targeted species and to biodiversity, and we need to consider the well-being of both. raincoast.org/2024/08/backgr…

These contests involve the indiscriminate killing of #animals over a specified time and conducted with the aim of reducing predator populations without regard for population/ecosystem dynamics, ecological impact, or intrinsic value of individual animals. raincoast.org/2024/08/backgr…

Across the country, many such #creeks have been lost to development, David Scott added, with cities rising above the rivers, brooks and #streams that once supported wildlife and provided food and transportation for communities. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Gwyn Morgan’s recent commentary, “Orcas, poachers and our threatened salmon industry,” revealed a troubling misunderstanding of killer whales, wild salmon and the fundamentals of wildlife science. #yyj #BCpoli @raincoast raincoast.org/2024/10/fact-r…

Fact over fiction: The realities of endangered killer whales. "If they are to recover, the Canadian government needs to use an emergency order under SARA to halt the rapid ­degradation of Salish Sea waters  where Southern Residents feed." #orcas raincoast.org/2024/10/fact-r…
