Unique salmon run on Vancouver Island gets a helping hand


Everyday until the end of November, volunteers are helping hundreds of salmon cross a waterfall on Shawnigan Creek by carrying each fish by hand one at a time. As the coho salmon make their way up Shawnigan Creek, they encounter a large waterfall that most are unable to climb. These days, the volunteers hope to move 3,000 salmon by the end of the season. Approximately 3,000 salmon will be driven a short distance upstream to be dropped back into the river from this bridge. Listen to the full story:One of BC's most unique and labour-intensive salmon runs in Mill Bay involves moving thousands of fish upstream by hand, one by one.
