The coast of Vancouver Island turns a bright turquoise blue every spring. But why? It’s fish sperm, or milt, from the herring spawn. This annual breeding event happens for millions of Pacific herring, a small fish that is at the foundation of B.C.’s marine ecosystem. This natural spectacle attracts wildlife in huge numbers to gorge on the fish and eggs.
Connel Bradwell and Emily Robertson are on the coast of Vancouver Island to explore how the herring spawn is key to healthy wildlife populations.
