Local environmentalist John Buchanan’s third herring spawn survey of the season on Sunday revealed heavy spawning at Nexen Beach and at the southern part of Squamish Terminals. Also, plenty of seals were asleep on the log booms in the Mamquam Blind Channel at night, Buchanan noted. He added there were “no signs of any birds feeding on the herring eggs at night. This coupled with the warm temperature should prove well for survival rates.” See his videos of sea urchins and the spawning survey.
