Subject: Pinks run news
To: Dawn Morrison <dmo6842 at gmail.com>


Hi Dawn,

Thought you would like a positive note:

2.  Good news:  The pinks are coming up the Tsolum in the thousands.  This
is a remarkable success because 2 years ago the Tsolum River Society made a
decision to not hatche the pinks in the hatchery, but to let them reproduce
naturally in-stream.  So this is the first "native" generation of pinks
since 1964.  Salmon speciate fairly rapidly.  If they can repeat this
miracle for five generations then they may constitute a population specific
to The Tsolum.  I attach some pictures from this morning for your pleasure.

Enjoy,

Comox Valley,

(this is from post of the president of Comox Valley Nature)

Respectfully,
Sharon
