Patagonia Provisions: Salmon Jerky

Just came across this video today while on the SkeenaWild Conservation Trust website. This is such a great example of a project and company that has clear goals for utilizing a natural resource to create a high quality product, while at the same time minimizing impacts on other non-target resources. In this case, it's smoked salmon jerky that is caught sustainably by first nations fisheries at their terminus, which allows more abundant stocks to be targeted, while protecting non-target species like Steelhead, Coho and Chinook, as well as weaker stocks in other rivers. Kudos to Patagonia and its partners in this project! On a more personal note, I've sampled each of the different jerkies and can confirm that they are tasty - give them a try yourself!
While this isn't exactly related to Nicholas Dean itself, we're happy to promote projects that support sustainable fisheries in the Skeena region - and this is certainly one of them.
