  In the past three years, working with the Pacific Salmon Foundation and
various First Nations groups, we have established Starlink-empowered wild
salmon monitoring sites in remote Northern British Columbia, Canada. We report
our experiences with the network services in these challenging environments,
including deep woods and deep valleys, that lack infrastructural support with
some close to Starlink's service boundary at the far north. We assess the
portability and mobility of the satellite dishes and the quality of existing
network access in underdeveloped countries that Starlink expects to cover. Our
experiences suggest that network access based on LEO satellite constellations
holds promise but faces hurdles such as energy supply constraints and
environmental factors like temperature, precipitation, and solar storms. The
presence of wildlife and respecting local residents' culture and heritage pose
further complications. We envision several technical solutions addressing the
challenges and believe that further regulations will be necessary.
