Fry Salvaging or Re-locating trapped coho smolts
We would like to ask landowners to keep an eye out for coho that are stranded along the side channels of the Tsolum River as water levels start to drop over the summer. Other areas of concern are small creeks that contain coho ready to go to the ocean, that don't have enough flow to allow fish passage. If you see stranded fish, call us at 250-897-4670 and we can train you on how to safely move these fish. We rely on having many eyes on the river to notice these occurrences. Thanks to Comox Valley Community Foundation for funding the purchase of equipment for our fry salvaging and fish population distribution studies.
Flow Studies
With funding from the Pacific Salmon Foundation, we were able to purchase a state of the art Flowtracker2 flow metre which will allow us to collect scientifically defensible and government agency recognized flow data in the Tsolum River.
The Flowtracker will be shared among streamkeeper groups in the Comox Valley region. If you are interested in helping with flow monitoring or if you are part of a group and want to receive some training in its use, call us at 250-897-4670. Thank you Pacific Salmon Foundation!
