Watershed assessing and planning in Peter’s River (central Newfoundland)

The Peter’s River 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. Peter’s river will be the source of water for the new proposed industrial hydrogen production facility in Botwood. The project is thus time sensitive.
