The Bellingham Herald 3/8/2021 Robert Mittendorf, The Bellingham Herald (Bellingham, Wash.)
Mar. 8 Forecasts for this year s salmon runs show a doubling of spring chinook in the Nooksack River, giving room for hope even though the species remains threatened across the Puget Sound region, according to fisheries managers and environmental officials.
Projected runs for 2021 show 7,540 spring chinook returning to the north fork of the Nooksack River, almost double the 3,949 fish that returned in 2020, according to Fish and Wildlife data published in late February.
Numbers were similar for the Nooksack s south fork, with a forecast of 7,248 spring chinook in 2021 against 3,619 fish that returned in 2020.
