| | Status/Trend
| Endangered/Declining. (ref-DFO-1998)
Mosquito Creek has been impacted by urbanization (riparian removal, channelization, high effective impermeable area, reduced/fluctuating water quantity) and storm water discharge (poor water quality).
The mouth of the steam historically supported a large estuary, which has been dredged and filled, and no longer exists.
