KEPE Fish Sampling Starts August 23rd

The Kahnawà:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) will be performing fish sampling in the Little Suzanne River from August 23^rd to September 14^th. Sampling will primarily be done with minnow traps, but hoop nets and electro-fishing will be used in select locations. The traps will be deployed for 18-20 hours at a time with KEPO releasing all native fish with the exception of a few small minnows to be kept as specimens. You are asked by KEPO to not disturb the traps or allow pets to come into contact with them. The effort is part of the larger ‘Aquatic Stewardship Program’ in Kahnawà:ke and will provide a better picture of the health of the creeks and the river.
