Pledge to make a difference, together.
The Society operates the Seymour River Fish Hatchery and Education Centre which is located on the Seymour River just below the Seymour Falls Dam in North Vancouver, BC. In 1961, the construction of the Seymour Falls Dam removed access to 60% of the river from migrating salmon but more importantly has also resulted in the loss of 90% of the original spawning habitat. To mitigate this effect, the Society has been instrumental in the creation of new spawning, wintering and rearing habitat along much of the lower river. The Society supplements Seymour stocks of fish through rearing and releasing Steelhead Trout, Coho, Chum, Chinook and Pink salmon. Since 2005, we have been especially involved in research projects involving radio tracking adult Steelhead and looking at early marine survival of Steelhead smolts that are migrating to the ocean.
