Spawning Counts

View your local stream spawning counts.

Sunshine Coast Streamkeepers Society follow the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation’s protocol when performing our weekly salmon surveys. This is usually done every week but if water is high, running fast or too dark to see any fish, we perform the count the following week. If you would like to read the protocol, please check out the Streamkeepers Handbook, Module 12, Salmonid Salmon Survey HERE . If you would like to join us, please send an email to scstreamkeepers@gmail.com and we can let you know when we will be going out. We regularly count on the following creeks.
