Science and research is one of the pillars of the work SkeenaWild has embarked on over the last 15 years. Now more than ever we need good, solid, quantifiable data that will help us better understand what is happening to our plant, the environments in which we live and how a changing climate, impacts to habitat, and human interactions are affecting Skeena Salmon.

One of those amazing people is Allison Oliver, she’s an aquatic ecologist with the Skeena Fisheries Commission. She’s worked extensively throughout the Skeena Watershed over the last several years and knows just how critical natural spaces and salmon are for everyone in this part of the world.

UpStream Ep. 5: The Babine

UpStream will explore the people, culture, science and of course the salmon, from all across The Skeena Watershed. The Skeena is one of North America’s last remaining intact watersheds where Humans and salmon co-exist. 

Northwest BC is filled with diverse voices, communities and economies that relay on a healthy watershed. We’ll dive into the work being done everyday on the ground to ensure our way of life and salmon have a future and that the Skeena stays Wild.
