Thousands of pharmaceutical compounds journey from bathroom drains into freshwater ecosystems — unmonitored, uninvited. For salmon, trace levels of anti-anxiety medications can radically alter behaviour: migration becomes erratic, predator awareness fades, and group cohesion collapses.

A subtle shift in chemistry becomes a seismic shift in ecology.

Join us as we discuss:

• How pharmaceuticals enter rivers via wastewater, farm runoff, and improper disposal
• The behavioural effects of anti-anxiety drugs on salmon migration and survival
• Hormonal disruption in fish from estrogenic compounds — leading to infertility and population decline
• Practical solutions: responsible drug disposal, advanced filtration, and designing degradable medications
