West Shore Arctic Grayling Abundance and Critical Habitats

This multi-year project will assess Arctic grayling abundance and critical habitat in tributaries on the west shore of Williston Reservoir.

This project will use eDNA and snorkel surveys on the Nation, Omineca, lower Finlay, and Osilinka Rivers to detect Arctic grayling and establish long-term index sections in these rivers for future monitoring, as well as in the Mesilinka and Ingenika watersheds.
