About Ogden Channel

Ogden Channel is an important part of the natural landscape in British Columbia. It acts like a watery highway connecting different areas.

Water Flow and Salmon

The water in Ogden Channel has a lot of fresh water mixed in. This fresh water comes from melting snow. Even when the ocean's tides come in, the fresh water near the surface keeps flowing outwards. This is because of the strong flow from the melting snow.

This channel is super important for young sockeye salmon. It's like a special path they use to travel during their migration. Salmon need clear, safe routes to move between rivers and the ocean.
