F24 Annual Campbell River Gravel Strategy (post storm assessment )

The FWCP Coastal Region board approved funds to conduct spawning habitat assessments in the event winter flows exceed 225m3/sec in the Campbell River. This aligns with the Campbell River Salmon Spawning Habitat Restoration Strategy.

The study will use methodology developed in 2019 through ongoing FWCP funding. The project will provide a high-level assessment of habitat and determine if work needs to be carried out urgently this summer to provide sufficient salmon spawning habitat for the fall.
