This includes priorities that were identified in the 'Wet'suwet'en Rebuilding Plan' for sockeye salmon, such as implementing a juvenile salmon monitoring program, increasing monitoring of spawning grounds, and an assessment of habitat quality for the restoration of a sockeye spawning river. The project also create local and meaningful jobs for community members, through the employment of Wet'suwet'en fisheries technicians and other stewardship roles.
