In the wake of the extensive rain events experienced throughout southwestern British Columbia in mid-November 2021 and the ensuing catastrophic impacts to municipal and rural infrastructure, agriculture and natural landscapes, Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission (SEEC) deferred the annual Skagit River Snorkel Surveys until such time as safe river access is restored. As such, the SEEC retained Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd (Triton) to undertake a modified river survey during the summer of 2022.
