Warning : Periods of low risk may be revised. It is therefore important to verify them before undertaking any new project. Notes :
Notes :
- The objective of setting these periods for in-water work is to protect spawning and incubation times, and the mobility of fish larvae.
- Where salmonids and other species of interest are present, both periods of low risk must be respected.
