Endako Weir Survey

With salmon numbers declining around the province, the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance and Partners T’sil Kaz Koh and Stellat’en First Nations are taking steps to improve crucial chinook spawning habitat in our own backyard. The Endako Weir will stabilize the flow of the Endako River during spawning season and the incubation period to improve survival for the next generation of salmon, and will benefit the habitat of all fish that call the Endako home.

You can learn more about the Endako weir project at upperfraser.ca/endako-weir.html.
