Vortexing sample for forage fish eggs – Michael Lockhart
This presentation is the culmination of research done by Project Watershed and others in the northern Salish Sea over the past three years. This project was made possible by generous funding from the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, and the Comox Valley Regional District. It was also made possible by the work and leadership of many community volunteers.
It is a free event. However, participants are required to register to receive the Zoom details.
