How to take part in Salmon Spawn Watch

• Go to see the salmon spawn, or visit locations where you expect them to spawn. (Check out our map of some popular spots around the province.)
• Use your phone to take pictures or make a short video. Film the water and environment if you like. Or better yet, film yourself describing where you are, what day it is and what you observe. If there are no salmon returning, and you expect them to, that is an important observation, too! Take care when observing salmon and do your part to minimize any disturbance to the salmon. Here’s some tips!
• Post on social media (Facebook, Instagram, X or Threads) with the hashtag #SalmonSpawnWatch and tag Watershed Watch Salmon Society. When you post, include the date and location and species observed, if you can identify them.*
• Each post you make between Rivers Day, September 22, 2024, and November 22, 2024, enters you in a draw for prizes! There are five prize packs up for grabs worth over $100! They include a Watershed Watch t-shirt, a copy of The Pacific Salmon Field Guide, a NEW Watershed Watch Yeti mug and a sticker pack!
• If you don’t have social media, send your photos and information to engagement@watershedwatch.ca
