The connectivity of a diversity of fish habitats is integral to supporting the abundance of fish species and their life stages found in British Columbias fresh water habitats. Tributary streams, lakes, off-channels, back channels, ponds, and sloughs all provide critical habitat. Ensuring that these components remain connected for the free migration of spawning adults and rearing juvenile fish is a critical piece of the equation in maintaining healthy populations.

Audience:  Government and Public

A variety of natural and man made barriers limit connectivity of habitat and greatly reduces the fish production in some systems. The Fish Passage - Culvert Inspection Procedures (FPCI) assesses fish passage at culverts and evaluates the findings in conjunction with other known barriers to identify priority barrier crossings that are eligible for improvement under Forest Renewal British Columbia's (FRBC) Watershed Restoration Program (WRP). In order to prioritize access issues, all crossings within a watershed are typically evaluated, such that the relative importance of addressing those that are eligible for funding through FRBC programs is within a watershed context.
