Keeping the Shuswap Free of Invasives
The Shuswap risks being invaded by aquatic mussels. Sounds like a science fiction flick, doesn’t it? It’s not – it’s a very real threat. The Shuswap Watershed Council, for which FBC provide program support, has tips for preventing the spread. Whether you’re a resident or a visitor to the Shuswap, whether you’re a boater, paddler, or fisher – there's an opportunity to help. Read Keeping the Shuswap Free of Invasive Mussels.
FBC Strategic PlanThe 2021-2026 Strategic Plan will guide the Fraser Basin Council in our work over the next five years. As we approach the close of our first 25 years of service, the plan also helps us keep an eye on the horizon to prepare for the next 25 years — which will bring sustainability challenges and opportunities. We look forward to continuing our work with communities in the Fraser Basin and throughout BC.

Current landslides in BC are a sober reminder of the serious impacts that slides can have on communities, infrastructure and transportation routes. Slides can also seriously impact waterways - such as how and where rivers flow and how passable they become following a slide. FBC is part of a project team looking into the impact of Fraser River Canyon landslides on river flows and migrating salmon. This new project will consider potential impacts of future slides similar to the 2018 Big Bar slide, which sent a large amount of rock and debris into the Fraser River southwest of Clinton and blocked fish passage.
