Happy World Rivers Day and BC Rivers Day!
From the glacial headwaters to the estuaries where salmon meet the sea, rivers are the lifelines of the Sunshine Coast.
They feed our forests, nurture salmon runs, recharge groundwater, and sustain the wildlife and communities that depend on them.

Estuaries like McNab are more than breathtaking views; they’re nurseries for salmon, feeding grounds for wildlife, and natural buffers.

Ever wondered what tiny fish hold up our entire marine food web? Forage fish, like sand lance and surf smelt, are the vital link between plankton and the salmon, seabirds, and whales we all love. Without them, the whole system begins to wobble.
