Water Quality

Water quality surveys are one of our newer surveys that piggy backs off the Raincoast Foundation’s Anderson Creek Watershed Monitoring. We use three of Raincoast’s sites in Anderson Creek and measure multiple water quality parameters. These surveys are conducted monthly through the year. Water quality monitoring is a quick and easy survey if you have limited time! Please email Jenn at jenn@loonfoundation.org if you're interested in volunteering for any of our surveys.

Juvenile Salmon Survey at Irvine's Landing

Juvenile Salmon or Smolts Surveys happen every Friday at 2:00 PM at our PODS site in Irvine's Landing between February and September. This is a great family friendly survey where we count, measure, and health check juvenile salmon and also identify and count bycatch. We use beach seining nets off the dock in three locations and pull in our catch to be processed. Are you ready to pull up those sleeves and help pull in seine nets? Please email Jenn at jenn@loonfoundation.org if you’re interested in volunteering for any of our surveys.

EGC Deployment at Whisky Slough

EGC Deployment at Whisky Slough

European Green Crab, or EGC, surveys are one of our more extensive surveys. From April till September we deploy crab traps any chance we get. EGCs are one of the world's worst invasive species, and they are coming our way! These surveys take two days, although help is always appreciated if you can only commit to one day. Traps are deployed at low tide from the beach and collected the next day at the same tide. All crabs, we often catch native species, are measured and sexed before being released, unless they are EGCs. We also often catch fish, snails, shrimp, and other species that are documented and released. If you like playing in the mud, this is the survey for you! Please email Jenn at jenn@loonfoundation.org if you're interested in volunteering for any of our surveys.
