After drawing withering criticism from conservationists across B.C., the federal government has backed away from a series of proposed cuts that activists say would’ve crippled salmon restoration programs in the province. MP Terry Beech, parliamentary secretary to the minister of fisheries and oceans, announced Thursday that the government will reverse cuts to the salmonid enhancement program.

Watershed Watch is a science-based charity that advocates for the conservation of BC’s wild salmon.
