Slhawt’ spawning season has begun in Atl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound!

February 11, 2025 By Chris Corrigan Bowen 3 Comments

A report today from Bowen Island’s marine steward extraordinaire, Adam Taylor:

2025 Herring Spawn started today in Squamish accompanied by Whitesided Dolphins feeding.

Herring spawn in Snug Cove was last observed in the +/- 1960s but you never know when nature decides to return.

Please keep an eye out for enthusiastic seabird or marine mammal activity along Bowen’s shoreline.

Will report back when I hear from folks monitoring Coal Harbour as that’s a bit closer to us.

A sure sign of spring! Slhawt’/Herring spawning season is the first big ocean activity to take place after the winter. So although it is cold and there is an Arctic outflow blowing for another few days, spring is just around the corner.

I did hear reports of about 20 dolphins way up the inlet yesterday. The first thing I thought of was that they were after the herring. The herring population in our inlet has made a remarkable recovery over the past 25 years. Well worth paying attention to.
