The Center for Watershed Sciences (CWS), with partner CalTrout, hosted an International Salmon Conservation Delegation on campus at CWS and at study sites across the Sacramento Valley floodplains and wetlands. The attendees included delegates from the British Columbia Provincial and Canadian Crown governments, representatives from the Okanagan, Seabird and Sumas First Nations (including Sumas Chief Dalton Silver), and representatives of the Pacific Salmon Foundation. The delegation seeks to restore floodplains for salmon through a project inspired by the CWS/CalTrout Nigiri Project and funded by the Canadian government. As a reminder, the Nigiri Project is showing that fish grow faster and healthier on floodplains, and that harvested rice fields make productive salmon rearing habitat at relatively little cost to farmers. The successful meeting offered an opportunity for informal exchange of knowledge and perspective, cultivation and cross pollination of ideas, and growth of our international collaborations.
