Aquatic Connectivity Assessments Capacity Building

August 18th, 2011

If you’re doing any traveling around the province this summer keep an eye open for researchers along roadsides assessing culverts located on streams. Eight not-for-profit organizations across Nova Scotia are assessing the aquatic connectivity (the network created by brooks and streams as they flow into one another and eventually reach the ocean) within their watersheds. When a culvert is installed improperly or not maintained it becomes a barrier to fish migration thus disrupting the aquatic connectivity of the watercourse it is located on. Fish rely on access to streams to carry out various stages of their life cycle. When fish are unable to migrate upstream or downstream of a barrier culvert, it can put pressure on the population.
