A Quest for Chinook Salmon in Central Yukon
Mantyka-Pringle, C. et al.
Abstract
A new 65 km road has been proposed in the heart of the Beaver River watershed to reach claimed gold deposits. The road will cross 48 rivers and streams, including spawning grounds for Chinook salmon. The Wildlife Conservation Society Canada (WCS Canada) and the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun have been working together to inventory salmon spawning habitat, water quality and sources of erosion before the road is built. This work will help to inform the development of a land-use plan that can help protect key salmon spawning habitats and mitigate road impacts on water quality and salmon.
