Canada has the world's longest coastline. Stretched out as a single continuous line, Canada's coastline would circle the Earth more than six times!

As sockeye approach their home streams, they turn varying shades of red resulting in a brilliant scarlet fish with a green head by the time they have arrived at their point of natal origin. It is this deep colouring, along with the rich cultural, economic and ecological history that continue to make sockeye a symbol in the Pacific Region.
