| MONITORING & ASSESSMENT | To better understand the river,
Streamkeepers initiated a program called "Monitoring and
Assessment of the Slocan River", which began in 2002. This
program gathers baseline data related to river conditions
including relative stream flow, water temperature and
quality, fish counts and benthic invertebrates surveys. Each Spring Streamkeepers count spawning fish and then, in late Summer, biologists swim as much of the river as possible to get an accurate count of all the rainbow trout. Fishing is becoming more popular and, in order to keep fish populations healthy, Streamkeepers want to know the river and condition of the fish. |
