Forage Fish Spawning Habitat Monitoring Program – Gabriola Island March 5, 2019 - 10:37am

On May 26, Brian, Haley, Graham, and I travelled to Gabriola Island to collect beach sediment samples for our Forage Fish Spawning Habitat Monitoring Project. Samples were taken from beaches that followed our predictive mapping, which indicates suitable habitat for successful forage fish spawning. We scoped out some other beaches as well, and collected from any other sites that we thought provided optimal conditions.
MABRRI 2018 Summer Orientation March 5, 2019 - 10:31am

On May 7th and 8th the summer Research Assistants came together for the first time for MABRRI orientation. The first day began with introductions and reviewing expectations then ended with chasing waterfalls. The Project Coordinators took us to two of MABR’s Amazing Places: Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park and Englishman River Falls Provincial Park. We had the opportunity to see why these parks are considered amazing places, which was immediately apparent through their natural beauty. At Little Qualicum Falls we were provided with a picnic lunch which was delicious.

Forage Fish Spawning Habitat Monitoring March 5, 2019 - 10:28am

Over the past year, Project Coordinator, Haley Tomlin and the MABBRI team have been working on putting together a forage fish monitoring program. As a biologist in training, I got pretty excited when I found out this project was in the works. When it was announced that Phillip Dionne from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife was coming up to teach us the methods they have been using in Puget Sound for decades, I jumped at the opportunity to take part in the training.
