EMMETT SPARLING 🌎 TRAVEL
Every year, millions of herring spawn around the islands near Vancouver. The spawning herring attract predators such as sea lions, eagles, gulls and orcas. It turns into a feeding frenzy as the fish play a crucial role in the ecosystem. During this spectacular natural event, I heard stories from locals who have been observing it for years. The herring spawn is in danger of collapsing as overfishing has been threatening their numbers year after year. This is also sadly one of the last places along the BC coast where commercial fishing still happens. I’ve photographed the spawn twice now. A few years ago from an underwater perspective, and this year from @johnkelseyphoto’s sailboat with @taylormichaelburk.
