About Me
- Nanoose Streamkeepers
- Nanoose / Lantzville, British Columbia, Canada
- Preserving genetic diversity through protection of Wild Salmon stocks. Nanoose Streamkeepers were formed in 1999 when local residents came together with Nanoose First Nations to promote stewardship and protection of the local Wild Salmon streams within the watersheds of Nanoose Bay and surrounding area. Habitat protection and restoration are seen as the cornerstone of our endeavours. All the streams within our area have runs of Wild Coho , Wild Chum, Sea-run Cutthroat and the occasional Steelhead along with resident Cutthroat. When we began we soon realized that to introduce the hatchery plan of enhancement would be to the detriment of the thousands of years of natural selection. During the winter months we are active planting trees, Bioengineering erosion sites, ( Willow wattling) repairing trails, and taking walks of the streams. During the summer months we conduct a fry salvage program to remove Wild Coho fry from drying pools within the lower reaches of Bonnel Creek. Between 10,000 and 15,000 fry per year for the last 10 years have been removed to wetted year round habitat. Written by John Dunn
