Trailer for:

An interview with biologist, Emma Atkinson, who co-authored Salmon Coast's 2020 report on the Status of Pacific salmon in the Broughton Archipelago, northeast Vancouver Island, and mainland inlets.

We hear a lot about declines in wild salmon populations but what does this look like at the local-scale? How do researchers determine if a population is healthy, in decline, or potentially resilient? What is like to be a scientist trying to answer these questions? Emma takes questions on the health of river-level salmon populations, the science of assessing population health, and the human side of this technical report.
