The Southern Alberta Fisheries Habitat Enhancement and Sustainability (FISHES) program focuses on fish habitat restoration.
The Southern Alberta Fisheries Habitat Enhancement and Sustainability (FISHES) Program is a 3-year $10 million program developed to mitigate the risks to the aquatic environment arising from the magnitude and extent of instream activities, authorized by the department of Environment and Parks (AEP), under the Expedited Authorization Process for Flood Recovery (EAPFR).
Program efforts will be directed at identifying areas of highest disturbance that are critical to maintaining aquatic productivity and fish populations at a watershed level. Habitat restoration projects which effectively mitigate flood-related impacts will be designed and constructed to:
The program is committed to effectively restoring and enhancing fish habitat by identifying the key factors which are limiting aquatic productivity in flood affected watercourses, within the South Saskatchewan River Basin.
Existing FISHES Program projects are subject to the Expedited Authorization Process for Flood Recovery. For more information, see: Expedited Authorizations Process for Flood Recovery (EAPFR).
