The Bulkley River Watershed in northwestern British Columbia is home to both culturally and economically important populations of Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, and Steelhead, all of which historically supported sustenance and trading economies of the Wet’suwet’en and Gitxsan Nations. In addition to their cultural importance, each of these migratory salmonids are keystone species that contribute to productive ecosystems in the Bulkley by depositing marine-derived nutrients and acting as an important food source for Grizzly Bears and many other species of wildlife. For these reasons, it is critically important that freshwater connectivity is maintained and restored to allow these species to access their spawning and rearing habitat during their incredible annual migrations from the sea.
