B.C. landslide dramatically impacts salmon spawn but conditions improve

The Tsilhqot’in National Government says river conditions are “slowly improving” after the massive landslide that temporarily dammed the Chilcotin River last month, but salmon spawning activity is being delayed.

An update from the Tsilhqot’in emergency salmon task force says debris and sediment from the slide are “dramatically” impacting sockeye and Chinook salmon spawning runs.

The task force’s latest situation report says observations from a helicopter show the river flow is “evening out,” and murky conditions are getting better, though the flow is still much higher than normal.
