WE ARE PLANNING TO EXPAND THIS PROGRAM TO THE WEST COAST TO RESPOND TO SIMILAR ISSUES AFFECTING WHALES THERE. BARRIERS TO FISH PASSAGE AFFECT FISH AND OTHER AQUATIC SPECIES ACROSS CANADA. CWF HAS PROJECTS IN BC, YUKON AND ONTARIO. WE HAVE STARTED WORK TO EXPAND THIS PROGRAM TO ADDITIONAL PROVINCES.
