Description

BC’s Bessette Creek is in crisis as record-low water levels threaten chinook salmon spawning grounds, forcing the province to issue a mandatory fish protection order. Over 100 water license holders must halt irrigation, crop harvesting, greenhouse use, and well-drilling starting Friday. Farmers face crop losses and income strain, but the Ministry of Agriculture is offering support for compensation claims. Officials are monitoring the situation closely, balancing wildlife survival with economic impact amid worsening drought conditions — a stark warning of environmental fragility.
