Our class started a foundation called Adopt a Stream. This was a project that I wanted to do because I think fish are an important part of our environment.
They are an important part of the food chain. If our fish are not doing well, then other animals will suffer.
The stream I've adopted is the Birkenhead River. It flows from Lillooet Lake to D'Arcy.

My teacher took a picture of me releasing a fish into the stream.
The fish is a Cutthroat trout. These are native fish to this stream.

Tim and John are releasing some fish into the stream. They were my partners in this project.
This is a picture of a Northern Snakehead fish. It is an invasive species to B.C. It is important that when people fish in B.C., they do not bring these fish to our waters. People will have these as pets, then release them into the wild. This threatens the local species because they either eat the local species or compete with them for food.It is important that people also clean their boats and equipment if they have fished in other parts of North America. Things like barnacles, plants, and small crustaceans can also be invasive.
