About us
WHAT DO WE DO?
EDUCATION
Information collected through our monitoring program and by being "out-in-the-field" is used to help decision makers at the local and provincial level. We work with community members, developers, government officials and contractors. Our group promotes 'best management practices' when developing near a watercourse or sensitive area.
We report issues and problems identified in the watershed to the appropriate authorities.
We also conduct school visits. Students can learn about watershed ecology and science, environmental practices and science. Our program continues to develop.
COMMUNITY
This is our watershed and an integral part to everyday life. Turtle Creek provides drinking water for Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe reaching approximately 160,000 residents.
The Petitcodiac and Memramcook Rivers and their tributaries are used for recreational fishing, canoeing, kayaking. Activities within these watersheds are endless: working, playing and enjoying nature.
Partnerships are a key part of our group's success.
SCIENCE
Since1997, the group has been involved in a monitoring program of established sites in Petitcodiac tributaries of concern or interest. These sites are verified through the following stream health indicators: temperature, dissolved oxygen content, total coliforms, E.Coli, Nitrate nitrogen, Phosphorus, bottom substrate and observable changes.
Other activities include:
Detailed Habitat Assessments, Electrofishing, Fish counts, Mapping, EIA reviews
