In 2006, Gitksan Watershed Authorities was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct an effectiveness monitoring in three Mid Skeena sub-basins: the Kispiox, Kitseguecla, and the Suskwa. This watershed restoration effectiveness monitoring assessment is part of a larger regional effort to ensure treatment designs and their applications are effective, and if not, provide technical feedback to refine designs. As well, the evaluations will rate the extent of watershed recovery achieved and help to ensure funds are spent on the most cost-effective treatments.
