Group braces for ‘really bad year’ for salmon population in Sackville River 
By Steve Silva CA Source: Global News 8/16/2016

A group dedicated to protecting and restoring the Sackville River in the eponymous Nova Scotia community says it’s concerned about the river’s lowering water level and subsequent impact on the salmon population.

“Unfortunately, the numbers of salmon have drastically reduced and are getting worse,” said Walter Regan, president of the Sackville Rivers Association. “Today we have water but, a month out from now, [if] this dry season continues, it’s going to be terrible for the river.”
 

Last year, Regan said there were 31 salmon counted; so far this year, there are 11.

The river, which runs through several communities, is about one foot lower than normal, according to Eddie Halfyard, who is a research scientist with the Nova Scotia Salmon Association.
