Low water impacting salmon run

Napanee, Ontario, Canada

The Chinook salmon run in the Napanee River is being impacted by unusually low water levels.

I have chosen the Chinook samon in the Napanee River for a paper I am writing for my Master's in Environmental Practice through Royal Roads University. The river water levels have been extremely low due to extremely hot and dry weather for the past several months. My paper examines the potential impact of climate change on Chinook salmon, which typically spawn from summer to early fall.
