Construction is expected to begin this summer on a fish trap on the Campbell River estuary that will selectively harvest hatchery-marked salmon from August to November of 2025.
The $1,143,114 million project is funded by DFO’s BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund (BCSRIF) and will provide salmon for three local First Nations to meet food, social and ceremonial needs. The project is a partnership of A-Tlegay Fisheries Society, the We Wai Kai First Nation, Wei Wai Kum First Nation, LGL Limited and Wild Fish Conservancy.
