In his role as the Minister of the Environment and all around Cool Guy, Barry Penner is in charge of all sorts of crazy things. One of these specific things is fish. Not just big old fish or creepy zebra fish, but any and all fish that swim in and around the waters of BC. Barry Penner knows exactly what fish are thinking. He talks for them, in fact. Much like Aquaman, but without the green pants.
“The fish can’t wait. They’re an indicator of the health of the spring,” said Penner.
According to Penner, there is concern that if fish are unable to spawn this year, next year could see them disappearing from the river altogether.
“The fish haven’t been doing all that well,” said Penner. – Merritt Herald
See? If it weren’t for Barry Penner, we wouldn’t know that the fish are impatient. So impatient that they are willing to move out and find a new river if we don’t help them out. That’s no good. What else have the fish got to say for themselves?
“Water levels are low. The consequence of that is it poses a severe stress on fish that need to come up and spawn,” he said. - Kamloops Daily News
Aww, poor stressed fish. Just trying to survive, pay the bills, spawn, you know? Stressful stuff. Good thing Barry Penner’s got their back.
