Previous assessments conducted on Jenkinson Creek had shown a problem existed of blocked access to its upper reaches. A collapsed abandoned logging bridge in a confined section of the creek had caused this. Anadromous salmonids can only access the bottom three kilometers ofthe TsulquateRiver.mainstem .• ·As Jenkinson Creek . enters the Tsulquate down stream of this obstruction it.representsa major portion of...·· anadromous salmonid habitat in the entire watershed. Site Location and Description: The Tsulquate River watershed is located near the town of Port Hardy and drains in a southeast direction into Hardy Bay. This is a community watershed and the only source of water for the District of Port Hardy. Water~s collected ala dam built on set of falls .
