Pacific Salmon Explorer -- The Scout Report, November 11, 2016, Volume 22 Number 33
The Pacific Salmon Explorer is an online tool created by the Pacific Salmon Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving salmon populations near the Skeena River in British Columbia. The website describes itself as "[a] data driven look at salmon habitat & populations" and will be of interest to anyone intrigued by the human impact on salmon populations. In the Habitat Status portion of this website, visitors will find a variety of data and useful infographics about factors that impact salmon populations including, for example, water quality and quantity, vegetation quality, and infrastructure development. In Population Status, visitors can examine a multitude of data about 55 different Conservation Units, or regional salmon populations. Visitors can also check out the status assigned to each Conservation Unit based on this data (good; fair; and poor). [MMB, -- The Scout Report, August 26, 2016, Volume 22, Number 33]

The Pacific Salmon Explorer is an online tool created by the Pacific Salmon Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving salmon populations near the Skeena River in British Columbia. The website describes itself as "[a] data driven look at salmon habitat & populations" and will be of interest to anyone intrigued by the human impact on salmon populations. In the Habitat Status portion of this website, visitors will find a variety of data and useful infographics about factors that impact salmon populations including, for example, water quality and quantity, vegetation quality, and infrastructure development. In Population Status, visitors can examine a multitude of data about 55 different Conservation Units, or regional salmon populations. Visitors can also check out the status assigned to each Conservation Unit based on this data (good; fair; and poor). [MMB, -- The Scout Report, August 26, 2016, Volume 22, Number 33]

- During the rainy season the Mekong River can crest as high as fifty feet, pushing runoff into the Tonlé Sap, the "Great Lake." The Great Lake, normally ca. 100 square miles and not over five feet deep, swells to 770 square miles. “The fish harvest of the lake itself is equally as important to the national economy as the rice harvest.” In mid-November, when the Mekong starts to drop, 30,000 fisherman harvest fish using hastily-placed fish traps and rattan dams. “Millions of fish spread over the 770 square miles of water are squeezed down into the normal 100-mile area. Fish are jammed so thickly about the dams that they can literally be lifted out of the water in buckets.” The Khmer traditionally harvested ca. “. . . 130 million pounds of fish, which is more than four times the salt-water fish catch by all boats operating in Cambodian waters in the Gulf of Siam” [aka the Gulf of Thailand] (pp. 16-18).
