This project will continue the restoration 150+ meters of off-channel habitat essential for salmonid spawning and rearing in Lynn Creek. The link below described the earlier phase of the project:
In 2018, North Shore Streamkeepers helped to install several log jams in the side channel to create protective pools for salmonids, a feature severely lacking in the Lynn Creek system. Post-project surveys found the side channel was well used by salmonids for both spawning and rearing.
Over time however, gravel was deposited at the channel inlet, blocking water flow during the dry season. Salmon fry then become confined to their rearing pool during summer, requiring periodic rescue when temperatures rise beyond tolerance.
It became clear additional enhancements were required to maintain year-round water flow. These enhancements are planned for 2023.
