Bank Stabilization Project - Funding Received for Design Phase
The Pacifc Salmon Foundation and TimberWest Forest Corp. have provided funding to design two major bank stabilization structures.
David Gooding of Gooding Hydrology is one of the most experienced hydrologists in the province in Rock Groyne technology. The funding we have received allows us to work with Gooding to design these structures over the winter by observing high water events, taking appropriate measurements and drawing up finished, engineered drawings upon which we can move forward in these two locations.
Fundraising for the implementation of these projects is underway and the TRRS will be completing these major instream structures August/ September 2009

Ongoing Projects - Eyed Eggs in and Daily Teams Trained!
After carefully picking dead eggs 20 volunteers helped transport the eggs to our facility on Headquarters Creek.
There are now 1,000,000 eggs hatching in our little facility and the eggs are being eggsat by a crew of 12 Volunteers and four backup people.
The eggs will hatch shortly with the alevins slowly becoming fry by late March when we release them into the Tsolum river to take their chances at life. They will encounter coho, trout, mink, otter, ducks of all kinds, garter snakes and seals on their way to the estuaery. From there they encounter other predators, pass through the Broughton Arcipelago and out into a changing ocean...
We are always hopeful thousands will find their way home but we have not seen good returns since 2001.
