The warm weather on B.C.’s south coast this winter has impacted the snowpack in a way that might have negative consequences on returning salmon.

B.C.’s River Forecast Centre says southwestern B.C. and Vancouver Island are experiencing extremely low snowpacks, which could impact river levels and the success of this year’s returning salmon runs.
