Salmon in Indian River Sitka, Alaska

Here's a short video of pink salmon, also called humpies, moving up the Indian River in Sitka to spawn--the same river they were born in two years earlier. What you see is just a few feet of the river.... imagine miles of Indian River just as crowded with fish...then imagine thousands of waterways along the coast of Alaska also packed with salmon.
Salmon are incredibly important for our communities, our economies, and our ecosystems.
