Alberta's Kakwa river Bull Trout information.

[Red Bullets]

Found these articles on studies done on bull trout in part of our province.
Interesting information. The Kakwa is not looking good in the future.

Isn't that just great I read a study on the bulls a couple years ago and recall them saying the Kakwa was the last intact unaltered system left in ab for bulls.
I guess we can't leave well enough alone as the next year there is a suction hoses sucking out of the river steady and tonnes of new oilfield activity. I have not been in the mid section to see the logging yet. So were basically gonna deplete/wreck it then try to fix it 40yrs later like the caribou.

I usually like to prevent problems instead of fixing em, but our important people don't it seems. Its so simple.

This is why the proposed NCTR closures didn't make sense - closing angling was dealing with less than 10% of the problem.

Based on this study, forestry and road building practices will have a significant impact on our rivers - this is the 90% of the problem that needs to be addressed.

However, getting our government to change practices that will impact GDP (revenue) is going to be the challenge.

Continued public pressure to increase this issue will be the only way IMO.
