Ogden Channel is a strait on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada, located between Porcher Island (NW) and Pitt Island (SE).[1] The channel complex is part of the Alexander terrane, and dates between the late silurian and early devonian.[2]
Channel waters contain a significant freshwater component, and the surface water layer of Ogden Channel does not reverse with incoming tides during snowmelt.[3] The channel is an important migration corridor for juvenile sockeye salmon.[3]
