| Resource Purpose |
Between 1995 and 2006, industry and government staff highlighted the need for action associated with the many historic closed bottom structures on fish streams that had become full or partial barriers to fish passage. Federal and Provincial government staff along with forest industry staff worked on the development of a guidance document Fish-Stream Crossing Guidebook, 2002 and improvement of methods to assess and set priorities to fix fish passage problems. Government executive and industry supported continued work on dealing with these problem structures through more complete assessment and remediation of priority problem structures. (See the attached Reference Letter). The Fish Passage Technical Working Group was formed to coordinate and advance the work done to date by government (Federal and Provincial) and industry staff. |
