Thanks to grant funding from the Vancouver Foundation, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Patagonia Environment Fund and Sunshine Coast donors, the SCCA has compiled historical fisheries data for key watersheds in the Sunshine Coast Forest District, and published them on this website.
The SCCA is asking the province to designate Fisheries Sensitive Watersheds in these areas to ensure that forestry activities do not compromise fisheries.
Salmon fisheries have been radically degraded by poorly regulated land uses, but we believe that they are still recoverable, and that the benefits to society and the environment would be enormous.
