Oh what big claws you have!”
Coastal brown bears are such an amazing animal to see in the wild. These large omnivores spend most of their summers feeding on grasses, sedges and different berries that grow throughout Alaska. But once July comes around, millions of salmon flood into river systems of coastal Alaska, and these bears go on a fish eating extravaganza.
Observing different fishing habits of these bears shows immense individuality of each animal. Some go for a smash and grab, others patiently wait for salmon to swim underneath them and quickly go in for the grab, while others splash around in utter overwhelming confusion, sending hundreds of salmon swimming for their lives.
Coastal brown bears and grizzly bears are the same species, but brown bears are defined by having access to salmon runs. While grizzly tend to live more inland where food is more scattered and they are forced to travel further and be more protective of their food sources.
This bear fished in a river systems in Katmai National Park, I watched him for over 2 hours patiently wading through the meandering water, and every so often standing up to get a better look at where the hordes of salmon were swimming.

Please consider signing this petition to end salmon farming in Tasmania and protect our environment.
The Australia Institute has recently obtained documents, which the public service has been found to have illegally refused to release,which reveal that Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has known for almost 18 months that salmon farming should be comprehensively assessed under national environmental law for its impact on the endangered Maugean skate and Macquarie Harbour’s World Heritage value.
In a bid to pander to the powerful aquaculture lobby, the Prime Minister has pledged $37 million in public funding to support the toxic salmon industry and promised to introduce legislation that will allow them to bypass Australia’s environmental protection laws and continue destroying World Heritage – both the skate and the Harbour are recognised for their World Heritage value.
Some of the Lake Merritt salmon are from the Mokelumne River Hatchery, but not all of them. Could they be wild spawns?
(BTW Did salmon season get cancelled yet?)

Gabriel thanked the Youth for starting the ceremony off “in a right way,” and said it warms his heart that they are witnessing the ground break for the site of the future fish passage.
“You will see the salmon return to our lakes, as they did well before the 1900s — salmon that we lived with for thousands of years,” he said.

Might this ruling be applied to other large animal production sites; not only terrestrial, but also at sea? The toxic #salmon industry has been dumping kilotonnes of faecal waste every year into #Scotland’s seas & lochs without hindrance for decades; it's time they took responsibility and cleaned up their waste.

Changing the focus to “functional” over climate emergency solutions is one of the disappointments I’ve witnessed in Governor Ferguson’s egregious reshuffling priorities with the ferries in WA state. I miss Jay Inslee’s priorities. Now must service tourism over residents, including the creatures that live in Puget Sound.

It's not a "salmon industry" it is a "wild salmon eradication industry". The worst thing #Norway has released upon the world: fish farms.

@futurebird and here's a fun little article :))) and by fun, I mean it makes me want to go eco tewowist :3
What's going to happen is that these #salmon are bad at breeding in the wild, they'll have eggs with wild salmon, and the eggs will not make it, meaning the #fishfarm has maybe destroyed an entire generations worth of salmon, if they can even recover.
#Bjork actually protested this, and you can see it's with good reason.

The One That Got Away: This Small Town Is Left in Limbo After Betting Big on GMO Salmon

AquaBounty GMO salmon was going to be the future of fish — and the future for one Ohio village that offered incentives to make a new facility happen. But years after breaking ground, there are no fancy fish tanks. No designer fish. No new jobs.

“The fate of the skate literally rises and falls alongside salmon production."
“A recent environmental DNA study … has demonstrated that the vast majority, if not all, of the current population of Maugean skate live only in Macquarie Harbour,” the report reads. A conservation report by the government’s threatened species scientific committee last year said the skate should be considered critically endangered, estimating there were between 40 and 120 adult skates remaining in the wild."
