Company Description: The Nicola Watershed Stewardship and Fisheries Authority (NWSFA), works together with the Nicola Tribal Association (NTA) and the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT), in the area of fisheries management.
In order to decrease siltation resulting from past logging-related degradation, and to improve and increase salmon stocks, the Authority has implemented a slope stabilization initiative. They are also involved in the management of smolt acclimation ponds to decrease Hatchery Chinook - Coho adults straying back to the Hatchery, in addition to having the expertise to conduct stock assessment and stock enhancement. NWSFA also has 2 greenhouses, which grow deciduous trees species (Willow, Red Osier Dogwood, Cottonwood, ect... ) that are used in streamside riparian enhancement and also for slide rehabilitation.
