Clear Lake hitch numbers have taken a dive this year, raising questions about environmental changes and community monitoring efforts.

Get the details!

County honors volunteers as Clear Lake hitch numbers fall from 2025 peak
County water staff presented the 2026 Clear Lake hitch community-science spawner report showing 1,152 adult hitch documented by volunteers this spring versus 3,347 in 2025, and urged that the data be treated as a relative index influenced by survey timing, water temperature and visibility.

Excited to share 2 new offerings from UBC's Centre for Indigenous Fisheries! Pls share!

Workshop: Positionality, Power & Preparing for Indigenous-Led Work in Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences
cif.fish/positionality-power-and-preparing

Grad course: FISH506Y Community Driven Science
cif.fish/fish506y
Flyer that reads: Sharing two upcoming offerings from the CIF! 2 DAY WORKSHOP: Positionality, Power, and Preparing for Indigenous-Led Work in Fisheries and the Aquatic Sciences October 26 & 27, 2026 Frameworks for bringing knowledge systems together, including knowledge bridging, weaving, or Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing), ask practitioners to engage with a clear sense of our own values, assumptions, and knowledge systems. Despite the growing interest in these multiknowledge collaborations, many of us trained in fisheries and aquatic sciences were never asked to look closely at the assumptions underlying the science we practice, or how our field came to hold authority over fish and water. In this two-day hybrid workshop, participants will examine those assumptions to begin preparing for work with Indigenous community partners. Individual participation can be entirely virtual as needed. Who is this for: Non-Indigenous practitioners, and anyone new to community-engaged or Indigenous-led work, across government, NGOs, consulting, industry, and academia. No prior background in this material is required. What this is, and isn't: Two days provide a starting point for ethical and responsible community-engaged work with Indigenous researchers, not a credential or a complete toolkit. Participants will leave with a foundation they can build on, and a clearer sense of what they bring into intercultural collaborations. To register: Registration (CAD): - Private sector and government: $500 - NGOs and non-profits: $300 - Students and postdocs: $150 Website: cif.fish/positionality-power-and-preparing Have questions? Email us at communityscience@oceans.ubc.ca GRADUATE COURSE FISH506Y - Community Driven Science: Developing Tools for Partnered Research with a Focus on Indigenous Communities and Aquatic Science This graduate-level course at the University of British Columbia is designed to introduce students to critical approaches to and ethical frameworks surrounding scientific practice, with particular focus on aquatic science. This course will focus on contexts specific to the lands and waters where we are situated and will emphasize working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples and Knowledge systems in aquatic science across the lands now known as Canada. Through action-oriented learning, students will critically examine the colonial legacy of Eurocentric science. They will develop strategies to work in partnership with Indigenous Nations and organizations, fostering relationships built on trust, mutual respect, and shared goals. The course emphasizes co-creation of knowledge, ethical research practices, and the weaving of Indigenous ways of knowing and scientific inquiry, ensuring that research outcomes benefit Indigenous partners and meet their needs and priorities. By the end of this course, students will be prepared to engage in ethical, transformative research that supports Indigenous sovereignty and advances anti-colonial science. To learn more and apply: - Course name: FISH506Y - Term: Term 2 2026/2027 (January - April) - Credits: 3-credit graduate course - Format: Wednesdays 1-4 pm in-person - Website: cif.fish/FISH506Y Have questions?
