Fish-friendly floodgate at Deroche reconnects 5 hectares of salmon habitat in Fraser watershed, restoring Joe's Lake passage after 70 years.
A fish-friendly floodgate near Deroche will aid in restoring salmon migration through the Fraser watershed, reconnecting over 5 hectares of previously inaccessible habitat. The floodgate was installed in a disconnected wetland that was part of the Nicomen Slough floodplain before dike infrastructure was built in 1948. This has restored fish passage to Joe’s Lake after 70 years.
