This next group of amazing shots by Engbretson Underwater Photgraphy, show biofilm and algae growth explode after less than four weeks. Fishiding Reclaimed Artificial Fish  Habitat products made from reclaimed pvc vinyl siding, act as an ideal inert substrate to grow biofilm which in turn feeds and grows fish at a far above normal or average rates. This process called biomimicry, has been perfected and installed with overwhelming success by a company called Floating Island International, which utilizes recycled plastic matrix to create massive amounts of surface area.

Bluegill Habitat

When you go bluegill fishing habitat is one of the key factors on your mind when deciding where to go to find fish to catch. Some bodies of waters are habitat rich with aquatic plants, dead falls, stumps and so on. Other ponds either never had good structures for habitat or they rotted and decomposed long ago. One option is to sink more structures with items from around the house for little or no cost such as old Christmas trees, pallets or scrap wood formed into a 3D design. These structures are great for a while, but they eventually break down or change until they are no longer a desired location for bluegill to gather.

When we talk about fishing and being in the outdoors, waste removal, disposal and recycling won’t come up much in the conversation. We enjoy the clean air and water which holds our quarry, not considering the orchestrated work taking place for fish habitat and the environment by waste recovery companies like K.Hoving companies in West Chicago, Illinois.

We toss our trash in the can or roll-off at work, or maybe that roof we recently had to replace got tossed in a dumpster. Off to a landfill right?  What about that old siding, doors, concrete, and windows we threw out? Or the old office building that got torn down, doesn’t that go to the dump anymore?

A late bird nesting season will not hamper work on a fish habitat restoration project that began on Colony Farm last week, according to a Metro Vancouver parks official.

A late bird nesting season will not hamper work on a fish habitat restoration project that began on Colony Farm last week, according to a Metro Vancouver parks official.

Frieda Schade, the regional district’s central manager for parks, said a thorough examination of the area turned up only one nest inhabited by birds that appear close to flying away. The nest has been marked and screened off from the rest of the site and construction crews will work around it, she said.

“There was some concern because everybody knew that the nesting season seemed to be late,” Schade said. “That may be the case in other areas but on the ground [at the work site], that did not bear out.”

Had more nests been found, Schade speculated that work could have been delayed.

Work on the Colony Farm Tidal Flow Restoration and Habitat Enhancement Project is taking place on an area of the park known as Wilson Farm. Excavators have moved on to the site to build several channels and two ponds, which will serve as a winter habitat for small salmonids.

The project is designed to restore tidal flows, enhance the ecosystem and create fish access to the area from the Coquitlam River. Native trees and shrubs will be added to the area, diversifying riparian and wetland habitat.

Work on the channels began last week and Schade said crews intend to complete the excavating before the rainy weather hits the region in early October. If the work is not complete by then, crews would have to wait another year after the next nesting season before completing it. Gary McKenna
