Likely Resident and Biologist’s Reflections on the Mount Polley Mine Disaster

Richard Holmes continues to live in Likely and work as a registered professional biologist in British Columbia. Currently, his main focus is restoring chinook salmon populations to historic levels in the Upper
Fraser River and the reforestation of harvested areas in the Cariboo Region. He also works with First Nations locally, regionally, provincially, and nationally on sustainable aquaculture issues, including the removal of open-net pens in the marine environment.
