Another Fish Passage Success! The City of Ketchikan, Alaska recently completed a culvert repair project AND improved fish passage at the same time! The City chose to install Flexi Baffles in their culvert to meet their conservation objectives. About two hours after restoring flow in Schoenbar Creek, fish began passing through th...

Fish Passage Success! The City of Surrey, B.C. has been working for years to improve salmon habitat in Bon Accord Creek. A tributary of the lower Fraser River, the creek once supported populations of Pacific salmon. For the last 70 years, a 500-foot long concrete flume blocked fish passage.

Do you deal with culverts and fish passage?

And here we go! Students with the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) installing in Bon Accord Creek in Surrey B.C. to allow salmon access to spawning habitat above this concrete flume. Great work!

Exciting news! Our team is heading to Surrey, B.C. to work on improving fish passage in Bon Accord Creek. Did you know that an old concrete channel is blocking salmon from returning to their spawning grounds upstream of the site? Previous eDNA testing showed that no salmon are passing through this channel. We will be working with a group of high school and college students to install Flexi Baffles, which will reduce laminar flows and increase water depth. This will enable salmon to navigate through this channel and reach the spawning habitat. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!
