Delay of the Sockeye video

Dear students,

Today we watched a video made BC Hydro and had a very interesting classroom discussion about people and salmon.  Our lives are connected.  The Sockeye  spawners trip up the river was delayed due to the building of a dam.  Many of the salmon didn’t make in time to the river where they were hatched and were not able to spawn.

What did you find interesting about this video?  Please share your questions or comments.

Sincerely, Ms Sim

PS: When they build dams nowadays they try and keep the salmon in mind and build fish ladders.  This is what a fish ladder looks like.
