Salmon Stream Network Analysis

This project explored habitat connectivity for chum salmon in the Georgia Strait Conservation Unit using GIS-based hydrological modeling. By analyzing stream networks and barriers like dams through DEMs, the study revealed that 63.4% of streams are accessible for salmon migration. The findings support targeted conservation efforts to improve salmon migration pathways and ecosystem resilience.
