Beaufort Watershed Stewards Complete Five Years of Creek Data Sampling

environment · December 2024 · Cowie, Mud Bay, and Wilfred creeks

The Beaufort Watershed Stewards have completed five years of water quality data sampling on Cowie, Mud Bay, and Wilfred creeks. A trend analysis revealed a downward trend in dissolved oxygen levels, indicating a potential environmental concern requiring further investigation.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
