Temperature, Depth Recordings in Tiower:ton
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 18 May 2023
Temperature and depth recording in the Creeks and Lakes Gagnon, Little Gagnon, Red Trout, John, and Little John in Tioweró:ton are underway. The project announced by The Kahnawà:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) sets out the goal of measuring long-term trends in these waters to better understand the physical habitat available to fish in the Territory. The work is crucial for the maintenance a healthy habitat for Tiotià:kton (trout), as they are sensitive to high temperatures (above 20 °C or 68 °F).
KEPO saying that the community can identify the creek temperature logging stations as they have orange caps that are visible just below or just above the surface of the water.
These loggers along with a white pipe containing a small sensor placed around 4 inches from the creek bottom, were installed by KEPO back on Monday, May 15th.
