As
a
result,
we
hope
that
three
thousand
more
fish
will
return
to
the
stream
to
spawn
annually.
This
would
not
have
been
possible
without
all
the
work
of
the
gold
stream
volunteer,
salmonid
enhancement,
association
in
partnership
with
local
governments
like
the
town
of
view
royal
and
the
city
of
colwood.
They
have
spent
over
20
years
and
thousands
of
volunteer
hours
improving
fish
access
upstream
from
tidewater
to
atkins
road.
A
This
included
overcoming
overcoming
five
barriers
to
upstream
migration,
providing
2016
returns
of
700
plus
coho
salmon
adults,
but
at
the
atkins
road
section
of
millstring
creek,
there
was
a
four
meter
high
perched
under
inaccessible
culvert.
Now
here
is
the
science
bit.
The
engineering
design
is
clearly
based
on
expert
knowledge
of
fish
needs
and
behavior.
A
The
culvert
was
filled
with
concrete
and
velocity
baffles
so
that
the
fish
have
resting
places
and
back
eddies
to
make
their
way
up.
Leading
to
the
entrance
of
the
culvert,
they
are
building
a
fish
ladder,
a
curving
stepping
up
waterway
environmental
monitoring
is
being
undertaken
by
professional
biologists
of
the
peninsula
streams
society.
The
province
of
bc
is
supporting
the
project
through
a
250
000
community
gaming
capital
project.
