Folks visiting creeks around qathet may notice salmon fighting to get upstream in order to spawn. According to Sunshine Coast Tourism, British Columbia is one of the only places in North America where all five species of wild salmon thrive.
"Salmon are vital to the health of forests, and provide food for orcas, bears, eagles and people, while their nutrient-rich bodies fertilize the soil."
Tips for safely viewing salmon:
Do not disturb salmon, streams, or stream beds.
Streambeds often contain redds (nests of salmon eggs) and walking in shallow water will disturb fish and can kill their eggs.
Approach streams quietly and cautiously, and keep a healthy distance.
Avoid wearing bright colours, which can cause undue stress to salmon.
