Herring Project

On Friday November 12th we had Dr. John Matsen and other members of the Squamish Streamkeepers come and give a talk on the success they have had in bringing herring back to Howe Sound through providing a safe and attractive to herring, place to spawn. They have covered creosote poles with a landscape fabric that the herring will spawn on rather than the cresote poles themselves which kill the eggs. They have had great success and we are now working with Fisheries and the local harbour authority on a project for Pender Harbour.
