Water Quality & Wild Fish

STRATEGIC ACTION 3

Maintain Water Quality Standards that Protect Wild Salmon and Other Fish

In order to know whether our conservation efforts are successful or to determine whether certain uses within the watershed may be turning into significant threats, it is necessary to regularly take the pulse of the ecosystem. Routine water quality testing and monitoring other viability indicators like salmon escapement, returning salmon population structure, and changes in vegetation cover can help us maintain the health of the watershed.
