In this episode we return to the roots of the podcast and examine some past and present issues pertaining to the conservation and abundance of BC’s salmonid fisheries, focusing on Steelhead in particular.  Today we welcome Bob Hooton back to the program. Bob is a retired fisheries scientist who dedicated 37 years of his life to fisheries management in British Columbia, focusing primarily on Steelhead conservation. His long career included a 13 year tenure at the head of the fisheries section in Smithers over-seeing the Skeena region, and his final 9 years of service were spent at the head of the Fish and Wildlife Section for the Vancouver Island Region.  Following his retirement Bob authored two books covering the history of Steelhead management in BC. The first was entitled “Skeena Steelhead - Unknown Past, Uncertain Future”, and the second book was published to complete the saga with specific reference to a dozen of BC’s premiere Steelhead streams entitled “Days of Rivers Past”. Bob has a third book on the way covering the mighty Thompson River, due to be released later in 2021.  To learn more about Bob and his work please visit: www.steelheadvoices.com

The MARTINZ Critical Review - Ep#45 - British Columbia's salmonid fisheries conservation is in shambles - with Bob Hooton, MSc

Skeena Steelhead

In this episode we continue our investigative series into the state of the Salmonid resource in British Columbia, with our focus on the majestic Steelhead in the Skeena watershed. Our guest today is Bob Hooton whose career in British Columbia’s fisheries management spanned 37 years, with the final 9 years of service spent at the head of the Fish and Wildlife Section for all of BC.  Bob is an outspoken advocate of wild Steelhead conservation and has written several books on the subject.  Today we also explore the inequitable racially based allocations of our fisheries, and make a case for the baseless origins of these ongoing decisions. Make no mistake listeners, this is an Apartheid policy which harms all Canadians, and ultimately the fish. The time is now to manage the fishery for the sole benefit of the fish, not special interest groups. To learn more about Bob’s work please visit his website SteelheadVoices.com, and to purchase his books please visit: "Skeena Steelhead - Unknown Past - Uncertain Future" "Days of Rivers Past"
