Have you seen the herring spawn?! 🤩🐟 Every year along the Pacific Northwest coast, pacific herring gather to release their eggs and sperm. This nature spectacle turns ocean waters to a bright turquoise colour and attracts a wide range of wildlife to feed, such as eagles, gulls, sea lions, whales, and much more! On my recent adventure to Ucluelet (@tourismucluelet), I was sooo fortunate to see herring eggs covering the rocks and algae. The herring spawn usually takes place in March on the east

Keeping an eye on herring, a small fish with a big impact on the Pacific's ecosystem

Pacific herring are the #BIGLittleFish that breathe life into British Columbia’s coast. In one of nature’s greatest events, the waters along the B.C. coast turn a vibrant turquoise colour as tonnes of herring return each spring to spawn. Once ubiquitous along the B.C. coast, spawning events have become fewer, farther between and smaller than they once were, putting the marine ecosystem, First Nations and coastal communities at risk.

🐟 Top 10 Animals That Rely On Pacific Herring #5 – Surf Scoters Each spring, thousands of surf scoters migrate along the Pacific Coast, timing their journey to align perfectly with herring spawning events. This phenomenon, known as the "silver wave" highlights just how critical herring are to these sea ducks. Satellite tracking and aerial surveys have shown that scoters spend nearly a third of their migration at herring spawning sites, feeding on the nutrient-rich roe before continuing north to

🐟 Did you know that Pacific herring are the fuel of the Great Bear Coast? They are a keystone species in a large and complex marine food web. Young herring, who eat plankton in pacific waters, are the cornerstone of many fish diets, including salmon. When herring spawn, coastal creatures from both land and sea will come to feast on the nutritious herring eggs. | Strong Coast

Pacific Herring: A Love Story Every year Pacific Herring arrive in Yaquina Bay with one goal in mind - to make the next generation of Pacific Herring. Like all great love stories, theirs is fraught with complications, great forces trying to keep them from their heart’s true desire (also known as biological imperative). You can always tell when the herring are in, because they bring all the predators to the bay. Gulls and surf scoters, bald eagles and herons, sea lions and harbor seals all become

🐟 Top 10 Animals That Rely On Pacific Herring #10 – Black Bears Rounding out our list is a surprising but powerful connection—black bears and Pacific herring. In some coastal areas, herring roe makes up to 63% of a black bear’s springtime diet. These energy-rich eggs provide a crucial food source as bears emerge from hibernation, helping them recover and rebuild strength after the winter. While these interactions are still observed today, they likely occurred even more frequently when herring p

🐟 Every year, the Pacific coast pulses with two of nature's greatest events: the herring spawn and the salmon run. Together, they feed forests, rivers, and the sea. Herring nourish the ocean each spring, laying vast beds of eggs that sustain whales, salmon, seabirds, and humans too. Months later, salmon fight their way home to the rivers that raised them, carrying the ocean’s nutrients back inland. Today, these rhythms are faltering. Juvenile salmon depend on herring as prey to help them grow,
