The Salmon Watersheds Lab (SWL) at Simon Fraser University is a large, collaborative aquatic ecology research lab focused on salmon systems in western Canada. Led by Dr. Jonathan Moore, the SWL has approximately 20 staff and students at any given time, collaborates with more than 40 partner organizations, and conducts research across 9 projects, many of which include fieldwork throughout British Columbia.

​

Our mission is to understand the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems, from headwaters to estuaries, and inform their conservation and management, with a primary focus on salmon systems.
