$200 Coho Photo Reward Awarded!

I’m sure many of you noticed the signs along Brooklyn Creek this past year posting a $200 reward for anyone who could “capture” a spawning coho in Brooklyn Creek.  It seems that many people who haven’t actually seen a fish in the Creek have difficulty believing they exist.  Hence, Frank Young, a former Director of Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society, proposed a reward be posted for anyone who can demonstrate the existence of coho in the Creek through videography or photography.

Passionate about the positive influence such a project would have on the community, Young himself put up the funds for the reward and the production of the signs.   He felt that demonstration of their existence through documentation was a way to bring attention to the value of the stream and surrounding watershed to nature.

Congratulations to Jack Van Delft for his video submission of a spawning coho in Salish Park.  The video is posted below and all entries are posted here: http://brooklyncreek.ca/entries/.  Subsequent to his submission, several more people submitted their photos, as shown on this page.  We thank everyone who took an interest in this project and we hope to repeat it again next year.
