The Snootli Creek Hatchery, established in 1978, is dedicated to rehabilitating the chum salmon population in the Bella Coola River and its tributaries, producing various salmonid species with adult salmon return numbers ranging from 360,000 to 2,160,000. The hatchery has a long-standing history of collaborating with external initiatives to enhance facilities and provide guidance for projects across British Columbia's Central Coast.
Currently undergoing major renovations to modernize its infrastructure, the hatchery is closed to drop-in visitors but offers guided tours by reservation. Key activities include fish production for sustainable fisheries, stock conservation, stewardship and education, as well as partnerships with Indigenous and local communities.
