The Ocean Film Festival Canada is proud to support vital environmental ocean causes, such as preserving the Pacific Salmon and its habitat. Through initiatives like beach clean-up efforts, we are dedicated to making a positive impact in our community for the well-being of the ocean ecosystem.
We support:
Pacific Salmon Foundation was founded on the understanding that the regeneration and recovery of wild Pacific salmon couldn’t be tackled by government alone. There was a need to develop a broader movement as a catalyst to engage communities, volunteers, and the private sector to tackle the wide range of issues facing wild Pacific salmon.
Today, our core programs include; Community Salmon Program – grantmaking focused on community-led restoration and enhancement initiatives; Marine Science Program – research and applied action to better understand the environmental and limiting factors affecting salmon populations; Climate Adaptation – focused on the impacts of climate change on salmon habitat and the areas where people can help them adapt; Watersheds – data and monitoring to support critical management decisions through open source sharing of information.
Seymour River Fish Hatchery & Education Centre
We enhance salmon populations and encourage sustainable management of fisheries in the Seymour River. Our mission is to educate everyone about the value of the Seymour River and the salmonids it supports as a resource for everyone living in British Columbia.
Each year we raise 30,000 Steelhead and 120,000 Coho.
Every second year about 500,000 Pinks and 500,000 Chum are released into the Seymour Watershed
Our 'Gently Down the Seymour' Education Program teaches elementary school students about this life cycle.
Ocean Wise is a globally focused conservation organization on a mission to restore and protect our oceans. Through research, education, public engagement, and international collaborations, we empower communities to fight three major ocean challenges: ocean pollution, overfishing and climate change. By equipping and empowering individuals, communities, industries, and governments, we can create a future where people and our oceans can thrive.
Ocean Wise is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia with staff across Canada, Mexico, and Chile, and operates conservation projects that make national and international impact.
