Science & Conservation

A catch and release policy was introduced on the St. Lewis River upon the commencement of the 2012 angling season. In 2014 Atlantic Rivers and LOOP entered into a collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to conduct baseline migration, redd densities, rearing habitat, and catch & release studies. Some of the results are currently publicly available while others will become available in due course. The studies have also confirmed that the Second Falls situated 35 Kilometres from the estuary is a complete barrier to salmon migration. Permitting is currently underway to establish a natural fish ladder at the Second Falls and once established will expand salmon habitat to 135 Kilometres or the St. Lewis River to become the 5th largest salmon river in the province.
