Students monitor record coho salmon run in Millstone River 
CA Source: viu 11/5/2010

Curious members of the public will have a unique opportunity to see salmon spawning in the city.

A record number of coho are expected to travel up the 14-kilometre Millstone River through Bowen Park in Nanaimo this month.

“It’s the perfect outdoor classroom for the public and students,” said John Morgan, Professor of Fisheries Management in the Resource Management Officer Technology (RMOT) program at Vancouver Island University (VIU). “We’re expecting a large run – perhaps as many as 500 adult coho.”
 

Students will assist Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) staff in tracking and monitoring the migrating coho, identifying spawning grounds and assessing areas for in-stream habitat conditions and opportunities for habitat protection and future restoration.

“The focus of the RMOT program is to educate students in the area of natural resource management and protection,” said Morgan. “This project provides an excellent opportunity for experiential learning in salmon biology and management.”
