Logging proposed near salmon waters

Salmon and trout need cold, clean, stable streams, and logging in the slopes above a stream can change its water and its spawning gravel. Across the seven areas, 163 blocks are proposed or approved for logging within 300 m of a mapped fish record. 1 still have an open comment period.

A fish record means the province's data shows fish were observed or a fish-passage structure was assessed there. Proximity is a reason to look and to comment, not proof that a block will harm fish.
