From Seymour
Salmonid Society:
Hi Everyone,
We will conducting carcass recoveries on the following dates:
- Nov.19-20th
- Nov.26-27th
- Dec.3-4th
- Dec.10-11th
- Dec.17-18th
In you are interested in helping out, meet at the hatchery for
9:30am and we'll head out from there.
Dress warm and extra set of clothes is a good idea. You'll need
waders and we have some at the hatchery for you.
What are carcass recoveries you might be asking? Well it involves
going out and walking the tributary creeks of the Seymour River
and looking for spawned out carcasses of coho salmon. Why? We conduct
an adult coho emumeration program to determine escapement. Carcass
recoveries is one aspect in determining escapement numbers of coho
on the Seymour River.
If you are interested in helping out, let
me know.
Thanks,
James Weger
