If you haven't checked it out yet, go to the article "BC's aquatic habitat rape at Spring Bar" on the Fishingwithrod.com blog (I think it's in fishy news). DFO has approved the mining of 400,000 cubic meters of gravel off of this bar. On one side of this bar there are a ton of pink redds and on the other side there are river-rearing sockeye (VERY RARE IN BC) and rearing juvenile chinook. All of these salmon will be wiped out if the mining isn't stopped (DFO already put 1.5 million dollars in to build the bridge over the river for the machines to start mining), notto mention many other species that live around there. GO CHECK OUT THE ARTICLE...It's a huge problem that needs to stop ASAP. :wallbash:
