New Research Identifies Priority Actions For Lower Fraser River Salmon Recovery
The Fraser is the largest salmon-bearing river in British Columbia, supporting 54 unique populations, known as Conservation Units (CUs), of wild Pacific salmon, 19 of which breed in the lower Fraser River. A new open-access study by the Martin Conservation Decisions Lab found that all 19 of these CUs are on a declining trajectory over the next 25 years.
