Federal Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan says construction will begin soon to help salmon pass through a section of British Columbia's Fraser River that was largely closed by a landslide.

This is why we can't have nice things.

High on the Chilcotin plateau in British Columbia's Interior, the chief of a local First Nation says the traditional diet of its members is threatened by a landslide more than 150 kilometre away.

Ottawa is seeking help to avoid what it says could be the extinction of some British Columbian salmon species because of a massive landslide on the Fraser River that sparked a co-ordinated emergency response this year.

A coalition of conservation groups wants the federal government to agree to a plan to wipe out a population of smallmouth bass from a New Brunswick lake in order to protect salmon in the revered Miramichi River.

More than a month after a mass salmon die-off was reported in southern Newfoundland fish pens, the company says the death toll rings in at an estimated 2.6 million — just under half of all its fish.

A mass salmon die-off at a Newfoundland fish farm last month has highlighted environmental risks and transparency issues facing the region's growing aquaculture industry as some Atlantic provinces pin economic hopes on its development.

Helicopter airlifts of migrating salmon have been temporarily halted at a rock slide in British Columbia's Fraser River because officials say large numbers of fish are now getting past the obstruction on their own.

About 56,000 fish have made it past a disastrous landslide in British Columbia's Fraser River as crews continue to work to clear debris and find other ways to transport salmon to their spawning grounds.

Authorities dealing with a massive landslide in British Columbia's Fraser River say they've successfully helped thousands of salmon migrate north of the site, but millions of fish remain threatened by the obstruction.

Time is critical to find a solution to a massive obstruction in British Columbia's Fraser River as 90,000 salmon wait downstream and an estimated two million more sockeye are about to arrive, federal Fisheries Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Tuesday, August 6, 2019.

Officials say they're working as quickly as possible but can't determine if they're on track to create a natural passage at the site of a Fraser River landslide that would allow salmon to reach their spawning grounds.

Premier John Horgan says it's good news that British Columbia isn't experiencing another record-breaking wildfire season because it means limited emergency resources are available to focus on salmon rescue efforts on the Fraser River.

Black bears need access to different species of salmon rather than huge numbers of a single variety in order to be healthy, a new study by Canadian researchers indicates.

Three of Canada's top environmental scientists want the federal government to listen harder to what their studies are saying about the future.
