At the 2025 QBS AGM, Allie Wall, a biologist with the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) spoke to those in attendance about recent research activities and how to access the data being gathered.
One major initiative being undertaken by the BCCF in cooperation with the Pacific Salmon Foundation is identifying and understanding Survival Bottlenecks for wild salmon along the east coast of Vancouver Island. The program and the collected information can be found at https://www.survivalbottlenecks.ca/data-system/
A second research program being carried with the support of many organizations is the Hydromatic Database, which is collecting and reporting on river and stream flows. The link is https://aqrt.nrs.gov.bc.ca/
Local streamkeeper groups are part of the frontline data collection team which carry out the field work and provide the raw data.
