The South Islands Aquatic Stewardship Society, a delivery agent for fisheries enhancement funds, is now accepting more proposals for projects to be paid for by Fisheries Renewal BC's salmonid renewal program. Successful proposals are expected to get under way in the fall. Applications will be accepted only until August 13th. They are open to anyone, from environmental scientists like Burke to high-powered firms. We're looking at a bigger picture.
Governments come and go.
BC Hydro funded the projects last year as well, and they were happy with the success we had. We were confident that they would fund us again. Vowle's said studies and reports were necessary. Lots of people say they're useless studies, but it's an essential step. Burke will be conducting her studies every weekend, and invites people to come to the three locations and ask questions.
