Province Altering Habitat


Recommended Posts

Found a spot where the province is currently filling in a seasonal channel, supposedly in the name of protecting the fish.

Kind of a personal values question; should the province be engaged in this activity or let Mother Nature take her course?  Thought does occur to me that,' in effect, reducing/restricting/altering the flood plain might cause erosion problems downstream.

Not sure how to compare it to the Allen Bill Pond situation a few years ago where they were just trying to re-establish that fishery.

During the runoff in '13 creek was re-arranged and since then the old stream bed gets water during runoff then becomes an isolated body once the water level drops enough.

Who knows how many fish actually are trapped in it and lost.  According to workers on site, the province has chosen to fill in the old channel to save them.
