A team of conservationists and Snuneymuxw First Nation members are racing against warming temperatures as they rescue young salmon from the Nanaimo River that’s drying up at an alarming rate, says the nation. “This is one of the driest years that we’ve had so far that I can recollect from my own knowledge of working on the river for the past four years. It’s substantially drier than we’d normally see,” said Bartley Jones, the Field Supervisor for Snuneymuxw First Nation’s Marine Division.
