This year’s Herring Spawn at Salmon Beach in Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ territory is featured in a NASA article!

The picture is of Barkley Sound, on Vancouver Island. It is part of the territories of many Nuuchanulth and Maanulth nations at the mouth of Alberni Inlet.

Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ was anglicized to “Ucluelet”: the name of the nearby town, and companion to Tofino at each end of the Pacific Rim National Park.

I need to add the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ logo to #socialbc!

@chris and off Nanaimo area - it's amazing to watch marine life explode with the herring spawn, seals, whales, eagles
@MatWright I like how it kind of moves through different parts of the Island over the span of a few weeks.
