The rivers of British Columbia are known for more than their glistening, flowing waters. They are known for their size and for their central location, but most importantly they are known for the wild salmon that swim and leap, gliding through the heart of the flowing waters. These salmon are used as one of the most prominent seafood products around the world.
The Canadians that live in British Columbia have meshed salmon harvesting into their culture and economy so that it is now a staple of the way they live. The large market has produced many jobs over long generations. It has helped the Canadian economy expand and flourish. In fact is has created over 4,000 job opportunities. It is one of the main exports from this area and is delivered around the globe. Some people believe that it is the great care that Canadians put into the act of harvesting the salmon that makes the fish taste that much sweeter. The British Columbia Canadians also take special care to ensure that the environment is not harmed because of the salmon industry which also appeals to consumers. It shows the respect they have towards saving the environment.
British Columbia has many rivers that run through the area. They all provide the resources needed for the salmon industry to flourish. There are four main rivers: Fraser, Columbia, Peace, and Liard, but the most important of the four is the Fraser River. It runs directly into the heart of British Columbia and is the most prominently used river for the salmon industry.
