Though this honey moon period was short…

Every coastal British Columbian recognizes the seasonal dump of water from the Pacific, lifted through transpiration, which cascades onto the coastal rainforest. But, there's another part of the ocean currently surging hundreds of kilometers inland: Pacific salmon. October's Pacific rains create prime spawning conditions for wild Pacific salmon.
