  • Management Options, Monitoring Programs, and Research Designs for Controlling Parrots Feather in Somenos Creek
    Management Options, Monitoring Programs, and Research Designs for Controlling Parrots Feather in Somenos Creek submitted to: Shaun Chadburn Environmental Programs Coordinator Engineering & Operations Municipality of North Cowichan 7030 Trans-Canada Highway Duncan, BC V9L 6A1 submitted by: Dave Preikshot, PhD, RPBio Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society and Madrone Environmental Services Executive Summary - Parrot’s Feather is an invasive aquatic weed introduced to Somenos Creek in 2014. - Within two years Parrot’s Feather had reach such abundance and density that it now poses a threat to salmon migration, trout habitat, recreational uses by residents and assessed property value. - Somenos Creek is very shallow sloped and is therefore predisposed to slow and unpredictable drainage between Somenos Lake and the Cowichan River. - In the winter Somenos Creek is subject to reverse flow during storm events because of the more rapid increase of water level in the Cowichan River. - In the Summer Somenos Creek is subject to reverse and even divergent flow patterns due to unpredictable changes of ground water input, lake level, and gravel deposition by the river. - Repeated dredging and ditching operations in and around Somenos Creek have failed to create a long-term resolution to poor drainage in the Somenos watershed. - The removal of trees from the banks of Somenos Creek has allowed excessive light penetration to the stream channel and thus promoted historic overabundances of aquatic vegetation. Parrot’s Feather abundance reflects this light availability. - Runoff from deforestation, agriculture, and urban development in the Somenos watershed have raised nutrient levels in Somenos Lake and Creek and allowed explosive growth of blue-green algae and aquatic plants.
