KEEPING NILE CREEK HEALTHY

Who We are

We are a non-profit group of local citizens committed to restoring, enhancing and protecting the habitat and ecosystems integral to the survival of salmonids in the Strait of Georgia. Its watersheds (which include aquifers, creeks, rivers and surrounding lands) support all species of Pacific salmon and native trout. NCES supports and collaborates with other like-minded individuals, organizations, foundations and academia in their projects that enhance and protect aquatic habitat.

Critical values of dissolved oxygen, temperature and sediment to keep our waters healthy for fish and other aquatic organisms

This report outlines key water quality criteria necessary to sustain healthy aquatic ecosystems, with a focus on dissolved oxygen, temperature, and sediment impacts. It examines how changes in these factors affect fish survival, behavior, and reproduction, particularly in salmon populations. The report also provides scientifically backed guidelines to mitigate harmful effects and ensure the long-term health of Nile Creek’s aquatic habitat.
