What’s under the ice?

Peering Into The Winter Fish Community in the Jemseg – Grand Lake Watershed

We’re excited to share some great news about our first eDNA analysis of the fish community in the Jemseg-Grand Lake watershed! This study gives us wonderful initial insights into the biodiversity of fish in this watershed. This initial study helps us along our journey to learn more about our local environment. Please read our short (4 page) article to learn about the fish community in the watershed. We would love to hear back from you so that we can learn more together!

Eurasian Water Milfoil Removal Workshop September 2026One of our focuses was to help people learn to identify EWM from other species.We collected real plants to show, and made a new Milfoil Identification Guide, which you can find on our website (link in bio).EWM was removed by hand by a scuba diver - thank you Skylar! We had planned to use a weight and float system to make plots for removal, but the water was too muddy to see them!The New Brunswick Invasive Species Council did a demonstration with a mobile Boat Decontamination Station. The unit can collect and heat up water on-site, and use a pressurized spray to rid boats of clingy critters. Thank you to Nate, NBISC, and DFO for the demonstration! It is extremely important to keep equipment clean to avoid spreading invasive species.The EWM was collected in burlap bags donated to us by Miltown Roasters.After the event, the sediment was rinsed out and non-target species were removed.The EWM was dried out in the sun over several days, and weighed.In all, we removed about 1.6 pounds of Eurasian Water Milfoil (dry).The event was great, and really highlighted the importance of preventing invasive species from spreading in the first place. Clearing even just a small area is very resource intensive.Further thanks to Wildlife Habitat Canada for funding this endeavor, and to the duck hunting community for making their work possible; to Dieter and Mary for their help engineering the plan; to the Fredericton Yacht Club for their support; to CBC News New Brunswick for allowing us to spread the word about EWM on Information Morning; and to Willow for assisting with the EWM cleaning and weighing process.#eurasianwatermilfoil #invasivespecies #newbrunswick #douglasharbournb #nbisc #nbinvasives #WildlifeHabitatCanada #nature #environment ...
