The River Runs Red weaves the biology of Adams River sockeye salmon with over 100 magnificent photographs. It is a story showcasing one of nature’s great wonders, the epic migrations of sockeye on a four-year cycle from the egg to the ultimate deaths of the returning adults on the spawning grounds of the Adams River in British Columbia. Significant historical, cultural and ecological perspectives surrounding this iconic fish species are presented. This story is captured by four friends: two biologists, one photographer and one creative organizer all of whom for over twenty years, returned to the river every four years for the ‘big’ run.
