Considerable amount of fisheries information collected in last 10 years Build upon existing database of information and expand on littoral habitat
Monitoring pins have been installed and active eroding sites within Trudel Creek have been identified Erosion rates and sedimentation zones will be identified and trends will be established.
Mercury testing has been completed in 2003/2004/2010 Monitor mercury in sediment and fish in Nonacho Lake and Trudel Creek
Extensive hydrological model has been developed for the Taltson River Model will be updated based on information of installed monitoring gauges
