Cortes Currents - Increasing the salmon spawning potential of James Creek

Max Thaysen/Cortes Currents - Friends of Cortes Island (also known as FOCI) Streamkeepers are increasing the salmon spawning potential of James Creek. Last weekend saw the first of many days of work moving gravel from the bridge over James Creek, down the Grandmother grove trail to five different locations in the creek bed.
The spawning locations receiving gravel were chosen by FOCI Streamkeeper Captains Cec and Christine Robinson with guidance from Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Community Advisor Stacey Larson and Dave Ewert, a retired hatchery manager now living on Cortes.
