Boaters can use a innovative new online tool to choose eco-friendly products and clean up their act when it comes to washing toxic chemicals into waterways and oceans while maintaining their vessels.

Efforts to rehabilitate urban waterways have helped bring spawning salmon back to parts of Metro Vancouver, including unlikely-looking streams surrounded by industrial and residential development.

Project 84,000 is intended to depict the number of steelhead and trout that died in a massive fish kill in the drought-stricken Cowichan River on southern Vancouver Island last year.

A new scientific endeavour has taken to the sky using high-tech drones and satellite images to understand better the annual spring herring spawn vital to salmon and wildlife on the West Coast. 

Conservation groups have written to the federal environment minister requesting a review of a chemical used in tires that they say has been linked to the "mass deaths" of coho salmon.

The department is being flooded with calls for change after a parliamentary committee examined how the federal agency conducts, interprets and acts on its own science. 

Two new studies suggest that pathogens from fish farms raise risks for B.C.'s plummeting wild salmon stocks.

Four vessels and more than 60 international scientists from Canada, Japan, the U.S., Russia and Korea are taking part in one of the largest-ever surveys of salmon in the North Pacific Ocean this winter.

A massive cross-border research and conservation effort has yielded a potential roadmap to save wild salmon in the Salish Sea. 

The recent heat dome, forest fires, and now drought threaten the ecosystems and watersheds that wild salmon need to survive, says Jason Hwang of the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

An ambitious project to map and monitor sea kelp forests along the entire B.C. coast is afoot, and scientists are using seemly disparate tools — both ancient and modern — to do it.

The Pacific Salmon Explorer, a user-friendly data-visualization tool, provides valuable insights into the current health of salmon across British Columbia. 

A serendipitous meeting between a professor and a colleague last year led to a treasure trove of historical maps indicating kelp bed locations off British Columbia's coast, helping experts understand the changes in the ocean's rainforests.

Many fish can carry the virus without having the disease, Dr, Kristi Miller said.

The Right Honourable Stephen Joseph Harper simply does not do things like protect nature.
