Approved Amount: $30,000
Year Approved: 2024

Description: St. Anthony Basin Resources Inc. (SABRI) will continue monitoring activities at their Salmonid counting fence on Parker’s River Newfoundland and Labrador, with the goal to continue to assess the status of Atlantic salmon, Arctic char and Brook trout in Parker’s River by gaining a count of the number of each species as they enter the system. Parker’s River is home to NL’s southernmost anadromous population of char, salmon, and Brook trout.

The FCAS grant will support SABRI in employing staff at the counting fence.
