Canadian Rivers Institute
Permanent URI for this community
The Canadian Rivers Institute (CRI) was founded in 2001 as a collaboration of researchers at the University of New Brunswick at both the Fredericton and Saint John campuses to develop the aquatic science needed to understand, protect, and sustain water resources for the region, nation, and the planet. Today, CRI has grown into a collaborative of hundreds of research associates, graduate students, and staff based at institutions across Canada and internationally working towards the vision of “making every river a healthy river."

The recommendations are based on the science compiled from a broad jurisdictional review of published literature, grey literature, and discussions with fish passage experts and decision-makers. Specifically, this report summarizes the key challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities outlined in contemporary fish passage research. A series of biological questions are proposed to help decision-makers determine what species should be passed at a barrier, if any, and how many. The report advocates for the use of structured decision-making to support of a quantitative analysis of management options, one that embraces the uncertainty of unknown biological consequences and also promotes the inclusion of differing views from rightsholders and stakeholders. The recommendations in this report integrate emerging fish passage considerations into a decision-making framework that promotes a multi-species, functional fish passage approach. This report does not advocate for specific goals related to fish passage at the Mactaquac Generating Station (MQGS). Rather, this report strives to provide a framework for making fish passage decisions at the MQGS and large barriers in general. We propose an adaptive management planning process that utilizes key biological questions to assess the outcomes of management options against defined goals and objectives using a quantitative approach.
