Fish Count

Jean M. Sarrazin, Vancouver Island, BC

For 12 years now, members of the Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society have been counting baby Coho Salmon in Brooklyn Creek at this time of the year. This capture and release exercise helps the volunteer-run organization determine how healthy the salmon runs are each year.

Brothers Howard and Alan Pattinson are two very active volunteers with the BCWS and I joined them at Baybrook Nature Park in the town of Comox on British Columbia's Vancouver Island.on Tuesday, May 21 for their morning fish-counting assignment.

I am a senior who retired from the CBC over 20 years ago but still loves to dabble in audio. I sing with several choirs here in the Comox Valley and also help out with concert recordings. I am involved with a group of people who want to launch a community radio service here in the valley. So far only the stream is up and running because the CRTC has called a 2-year moratorium on new radio applications. We're calling it CVOX - Locally Grown Radio.
