Dogs are humans' best friend, and they need help from their people to also be friends to salmon. Dogs in streams potentially disturb salmon habitat. Advice to dog owners on actions they can take to protect salmon were the focus of a recent Salmon Saturday hosted by Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS).

Salmon Saturdays are part of the larger Langley Thinks Salmon effort to engage Langley citizens in protecting salmon and its habitat. The project also includes Salmon in the Schoolyard and Salmon in your Backyard.

Read about actions dog owners can take.

Think Salmon is a way of life. It's how we think, learn and act. It's how we protect and conserve the rivers and places where salmon and humans live.

PACIFIC SALMON COMMISSION

Sockeye

The Pacific Salmon Commission's goals are conservation, management and optimum production of Pacific Salmon. This body implements the Pacific Salmon Treaty, struck in 1985 by the US and Canada. The Treaty is a means for both countries to achieve long-term goals for the benefit of Pacific Salmon stocks that pass through Canadian waters bound for US rivers and vice versa. The Commission is composed of delegates appointed by the Canadian and US governments and represents the interests of commercial and recreational fisheries, environmental organizations, Canadian First Nations and federal, provincial, state, and U.S. tribal governments. One function of the body is to provide regulatory advice and recommendations to both countries regarding the management of Fraser River sockeye and pink salmon. Pre-season and in-season snapshots are offered in the form of news releases and regulatory announcements. See PSC's website for the most up to date announcements about the Fraser River sockeye and pink salmon fisheries.
