The Upper Fraser Small Stream Enumeration program is a population assessment project which employs state-of-the-art remote monitoring equipment to provide an accurate count (enumeration) of the number of salmon in streams, along with species, size, sex, and condition of the fish returning to the stream for spawning. Many small streams in the Upper Fraser watershed have not been enumerated in over two decades, resulting in a dire lack of data hindering efficient species conservation and

Cottonwood Island Park is a 33-hectare city managed public park within the city limits of Prince George, British Columbia. Cottonwood Island is separated from the mainland by a highwater side channel. This side channel is approximately one kilometer long and during high water it is used by many salmonids and other fish species as a place of refuge and provides spawning habitat. When the highwater level recedes, the side channel drains, trapping fish in disconnected

Each year, in the fall, a group of dedicated volunteers, called the Salmon Support team (SST) collect brood stock (salmon eggs and milt) that are then fertilized at our local facility. These eggs are then incubated, and reared in the SCWA hatchery until they are large enough to be released back into their natal stream. SCWA volunteers work with both threatened and endangered Chinook Salmon stocks. The hatchery maintains multiple regional relationships through these projects.
