Fraser River salmon

The Fraser River, located in British Columbia, Canada, is one of the most important salmon rivers in North America. It supports several species of salmon, including Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye. These fish are vital to the ecosystem, local economy, and Indigenous cultures. Salmon migrate from the ocean to the river to spawn, a journey critical for their reproduction. The river's health and water quality are crucial for their survival, as they face challenges from habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Preservation efforts are essential to ensure the future of both the fish and the communities that depend on them.
