On August 21, we did another Eurasian Water Milfoil survey! Our EWM surveys were possible with the support of Wildlife Habitat Canada.We checked further upstream in Salmon River this year. The red dotted line represents our path. Those following our work may notice an absence of points; this is because thankfully, no Eurasian Water Milfoil was observed. This is consistent with the near-absence of EWM we saw downstream last year.Time spent mapping absence is not wasted. Should EWM ever spread through Salmon River, we will have baseline data showing the changes since 2026.Special thanks to Iron Bound Cove RV Park for allowing us to launch from their property.We would like to survey the area where Long Creek meets Salmon River.If anyone knows a public access point where we can launch a paddleboard, or owns property here, send us an email at [email protected]#newbrunswick #invasivespecies #grandlakenb #salmonrivernb #eurasianwatermilfoil #WildlifeHabitatCanada
