Fish Passage Culvert Replacement:
RBCA is growing our involvement with the Kenai Watershed Forum’s (KWF) fish passage - culvert replacement program. A review of KWF’s interactive fish passage web page indicates that there are over 120 culverts on the peninsula that prevent adequate fish passage and 17 of these are in the Seward area. These culverts prevent fish from swimming through them and can close off miles of otherwise good fish habitat. RBCA is developing a Fish Passage Partnership with the KWF and we have helped to oversee the installation of three local culverts; two on old Exit Glacier Road and one on Dairy Hill Lane. Soon, RBCA will begin organizing and obtaining grant funds to replace the local culverts that prevent adequate fish passage; stay tuned for updates.
