Howe Sound is in an amazing state of rebound this year, with a massive herring spawn enhancing the health of the ecosystem.This is the most successful herring spawn in more than 100 years, which has allowed for spring Chinook salmon fishing, and has attracted many pods of transient orcas into the sound. Yesterday a pod of T65A orcas were spotted in Collingwood Channel between Gambier Island and Bowen Island in the afternoon.
Get outside and explore what this beautiful part of the world has to offer! Please don’t forget to respect the animals and keep 100m away.
Have a look at the BC Cetacean Sightings Network for guidelines about how to reduce the impact of your vessel on marine animals.
For help identifying species, have a look at Wild Whales identification page!
