Assessment of restoration success for Juvenile Salmon Habitat in the K’ómoks Estuary

The intern will be working with Project Watershed to understand the use of the three sites along the Courtenay River by juvenile salmonids, and whether one site appears to be better used by the juvenile salmonids or not. This work will help inform the partner organization whether their previous salmon habitat restoration activities along the Courtenay River have been a success. Results will be used to inform future habitat restoration projects that occur along the Courtenay River in Courtenay, BC. This project will increase local understanding of the juvenile salmonid use of tidal estuary habitat.
