Description

Sockeye salmon are deemed essential to life by Secwépemc Indigenous communities living near the Adams River in South Central British Columbia (BC). They are also an ecological keystone species and a significant contributor to the BC economy. However, salmon populations are in decline throughout the Pacific Northwest, putting communities, economies and ecosystems at risk. Using Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as a lens, we identify the network of actors connected to the Adams River salmon run, examine actor relationships, and consider the impacts these relations have on sustainable conservation practices.
