That's a very complex question. It involves an animal that has a life history that spans the far ocean reaches right up into natal rivers 1,000 kilometres upstream from the tidewater. However, one thing we do know is that if you do not get a spawning fish onto the spawning grounds, you don't have a chance to recover these populations or conserve them. The first thing you have to do is make sure the fish get back that are necessary to spawn and conserve a diverse population.
That's the first step. After that, there are many steps, especially in terms of adapting to and mitigating climate change impacts. We need to be investing in this. Canada, unfortunately, does a pretty poor job of managing its salmon populations. A lot of work needs to be done. Canada's failure to manage its stocks properly is why we lost our marine stewardship certification for our salmon industry in British Columbia.
