FISH ACCESS
UPPER MISSION CREEK
| |
The upper reaches of Thain Creek and Mission Creek have not been accessible to salmon for several decades. Culverts and catch basins at the road crossings above Queens still block access.
However, these barriers could be removed in the next few years as the crossings are updated.
- Cartelier Culvert Replacement Project ---- main stream
District of North Vancouver
2000
Voluntary
The District of North Vancouver replaced the old culvert at Cartelier. A new fish-passable culvert links fish habitat on either side.
There is good salmonid habitat in this section of the creek. Upstream at Madeley, the gradient becomes too steep for fish to travel further.
The remaining barriers to salmon are the culverts at Evergreen and Windsor. Salmon will not be able to spawn in the upper reaches of Mission Creek or Thain Creek until these culverts are replaced or modified.
