Recipient: Memorial University (Purchase & Leroux)
Approved Amount: $7,590 (2nd year of a 2-year project, total: $25,679)
Year Approved: 2024
Description: The Charles Brook watershed in the Bay of Exploits will be surveyed for the first known time. Information on access, barriers to migration, salmon presence/absence, habitat characteristics, and water temperatures will enable watershed planning. Collected genetic tissue can be used by DFO to fill in large gaps from the northeast coast on genetic survey work on Newfoundland rivers.
