As a learning organization we feel it’s important to provide opportunities for staff to engage in continuous learning and improvement. In 2018 the organization continued building capacity in research, mapping, habitat restoration, and personal development. The staff participated in training that covered: river management, advanced drone ground school, GNSS (global navigation satellite system, first aid & cpr, graphics design, facilitation skills, conflict resolution, ESRI story maps, pathways to coping, and eDNA training.

We believe in a holistic approach to research and natural resource management. Using the principles of Two-Eyed Seeing, developed by Dr. Albert Marshall and Murdena Marshall, we can ensure that we approach issues through a unique lens. By merging the latest technology and applied research methods with Indigenous ways of knowing, we can provide unique solutions to common issues.

The Fish Friends program continues to be successful in providing knowledge and understanding of wild Atlantic salmon in the elementary schools of our member communities. In 2018 students from Alaqsite’w Gitpu, Mi’gmaq Immersion (Listuguj Education), L.E.R (Dalhousie), and Terry Fox Elementary (Bathurst) came together to release salmon fry back into the Eel River. Our goal with the program is to enrich students with information about the salmon as well as to inspire students to further pursue studies in salmon-related fields.

There was an increase in collaboration between GMRC and field technicians in its member communities through research and training services. In 2018, GMRC worked closely with the LMG scientific team on its activities and also provided staff to assist with lobster research. It is a goal of GMRC to provide value to its member communities and we are happy, not only to continue doing that, but to

strive towards increasing that value. We also began working with the ERB habitat team in providing assistance with different activities. A pilot project was established to repopulate eelgrass beds in the Eel River estuary. Eelgrass in the estuary provides habitat for fish, filters the water, fosters biodiversity, and prevents erosion (among other things). The recovery of the eelgrass beds are an important step in restoring the estuary to its former health.

The organization was active in its communication activities in 2018. A website refresh brought an updated look and feel to the GMRC website. The new site is optimized for mobile screens and will provide a better platform for delivering content. The website will host two new key communication products that have been developed: GMRC Story Maps and the Salmon Life Cycle game. The story maps, 3 in total, provide knowledge and insight on: Atlantic salmon biology, Mi’gmaq relationship with salmon, and Mi’gmaw territory. The salmon life cycle game was developed in partnership with First Mobile Education based in Fredericton. The salmon game, (available in Mi’gmaq, English, and French) teaches users various aspects of Atlantic salmon biology as well as on Mi’gmaw relationships with salmon.

In closing, we look forward to 2019 and all the opportunities the year presents. We look forward to training and personal development, we look forward to building capacity and acquiring equipment, and we look forward to providing more value to our member communities.

“We believe in a holistic approach to research andnatural resource management.“

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

The Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC) created three interactive story maps highlighting our traditional territory and our relationship with salmon. The maps were constructed using Esri Story Maps software and intertwines a two-eyed seeing approach. Two-eyed seeing shares views from the indigenous perspective along with western science.

The aim of this project was to engage and inspire our communities through an interactive platform. Using narrative, text, images and multimedia content, we shared meaningful stories about our community with story maps. Feedback from community members and various community departments shaped the stories being told in this ATLAS project.

The first map launched is titled “Plamu: Atlantic Salmon Ecology and Research”. This map guides the viewer through the life cycle, migration route, and provides information on the salmon research being conducted by GMRC and Listuguj Fisheries. As we explore the second story map called “Plamu: Salmon and the Listuguj Mi’gmaq”, it examines our unique relationship with this keystone species.

The roll out of the third story map on the “Mi’gmaq Territory”, introduces the audience to the traditional territory of the Mi’gmaq people. This unceeded territory encompasses Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, the Gaspé Peninsula and parts of Québec, New Brunswick (north of the St. John watershed), parts of Newfoundland and Labrador and, part of Maine.

These story maps were launched once a week on our social media platform and website. The story map on salmon was also used in our local schools as part of our Fostering Fish Friends program. GMRC received positive feedback from our membership about these well thought out and thoroughly researched topics. It also enabled our organization to harness the power of maps and geography to tell our story.

Addressing the issue of low Atlantic salmon populations in local rivers.Using Scotty Boxes

in Vacant RiversTo address the issue of low Atlantic salmon populations in local rivers, the Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC) partnered together with Listuguj Fisheries, Department of Energy and Resource Development, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Restigouche River Watershed Management Council Inc. (RRWMC), Management of Salmon on the Restigouche and Tributaries (MSRT), and Boston Brook Lodge to collect broodstock from the Little Main Restigouche River, providing eggs that will be placed further up river in vacant habitats.

In October, four female and four male salmon were seined from the river and transported to the fish hatchery in Kedgwick. Here, the harvested salmon were monitored and once ready to spawn, the eggs get slowly pushed from the belly in a downward movement, releasing the eggs into a bowl. The procedure is also done to the male salmon, and its sperm (milt) is mixed together with the eggs and a little water, for fertilization. Typically, 1000 eggs can be harvested per kilogram from each female salmon.

The eggs are then transferred into stream-side incubation cases called scotty boxes, units that have five floors with 200 cells on each floor (holding a total of 1000 eggs), and are anchored in locations determined to be vacant habitats. Vacant habitats are determined through the use of electrofishing-a water shocking technique that allows us to assess fish species presence in the river.

Following electrofishing, four sites on the Cyr Brook and the North Branch Gounamitz River were selected based on the absence of salmon which will give the new eggs a better chance of survival. Eyed (fertilized) eggs are placed in each cell with a “window” or small hole. As they grow, their yolk sacs are absorbed, and the fry are then able to swim out of the windows and into the natural environment of the river. Over a few days, 18 scotty boxes were placed streamside, totalling almost 18,000 eggs.

Finally, to assess survival rates, the GMRC and Listuguj Fisheries returned to Cyr Brook and North Branch Gounamitz River in June to determine the success of the scotty boxes. By assessing those eggs/fish left in the cells, the teams were able to conclude there was an average 48% survival rate in these areas. The number may seem low, however, survival rates in the wild are estimated to be between 10 and 24%, with only two salmon potentially returning as adults from 5000 eggs.

Based upon the results, other areas of the watershed will be examined for future sites of the scotty boxes. Electrofishing will be conducted on the Kedgwick River to identify vacant habitats. To increase survival rates, scotty boxes will be placed within deeper areas, mid channel, to reduce the trapped siltation, which may have contributed to the incurred mortality.

“Our main goal is to identify the areas where high mortality rates are occurring, to help us identify the specific threats to these at-sea salmon.“

Acoustic Monitoring to Track Smolt and Kelt Migration The Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC) has been partnering with the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) and the Restigouche River Watershed Management Council (RRWMC) to conduct acoustic monitoring in the Restigouche River since 2013. Acoustic receivers and uniquely numbered acoustic tags implanted in salmon will allow us to track migration routes and timing.

Following the ice-run in early May, acoustic receivers were installed throughout the Restigouche River, beginning at Larry’s Gulch, Indian House, two at Mann’s Mountain, Listuguj, and near Eel River Bar.

Two different life stages of Atlantic salmon were targeted this year: kelts and smolts. Before the kelts, overwintering (black) salmon, make their way down river to recondition in the bay, they are collected along the Matapedia River, and implanted with acoustic tags. Smolts are collected through the use of a rotary screw trap on the Kedgwick River and are surgically inserted with a tag, before being released back into the river. The weight, length and sex of the all tagged salmon are recorded.

As the kelts and smolts migrate out of the river system, the receivers record each tagged fish as they swim by. As they continue to migrate eastwards, they swim pass

30 additional receivers spanning from Gesgepegiag (QC) to Grande-Anse (NB). These receivers are known as the, “Chaleur Bay Receiver Line”.

Conducting acoustic monitoring allows researchers to analyze their behavioural patterns and survival rates of smolts and kelts. Our main goal is to identify the areas where high mortality rates are occurring, to help us identify the specific threats to these at-sea salmon.

Aboriginal Funds For Species At RiskDuring the fall of 2018, the Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC) conducted research to determine if Atlantic salmon were rearing and using lakes in the Matapedia Watershed. The project called “Gathering Observations of Species Patterns to Enhance Mi’gmaq Ecological Knowledge (GOSPEM)” was designed to document the presence of three species in lakes: Atlantic salmon, American eel and Gaspereau. This research project combined Western science with Mi’gmaq Ecological Knowledge (MEK), better known as Two-Eyed Seeing.

Samples were collected from both rivers and lakes to get baseline data to determine if salmon were eating in the river or in lake environments. Stable isotopes are a powerful tool to reconstruct food webs and infer prey reliance. Carbon isotopes help infer prey type and source whereas nitrogen isotopes help infer trophic level. Comparisons are analyzed between Atlantic salmon smolt isotopic ratios to lake and river samples.

Baseline prey data began with a collection of benthic macroinvertebrates using a D-net. The bug samples were collected from the Humqui, Causapscal and Matapedia rivers. The bug samples were sorted into family groups, then they were cooked in an oven at 60 degrees Celsius for a period of 24 to 28 hours. Once the bug samples were dried and grinded into a fine, even powder, they were sent to the stable isotopes laboratory (SINLAB) at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, NB.

Zooplankton was also collected from several lakes in the Matapedia watershed. Zooplankton are small microscopic organisms found in rivers, lakes and oceans. Dr. Carole-Anne Gillis collected these samples in the fall, before the lake turnover. The samples were collected by towing a small mesh net across the lake at different points of interest. The samples were bottled and then frozen shortly after the collection process, before being sent off to the stable isotopes lab.

The research continued with the study of Atlantic Salmon smolts. 120 samples of their muscle tissue were prepared for stable isotope studies. The samples were collected from the rotary screw trap located on the Matapedia River between 2015 and 2017.

This research project combined Western science with Mi’gmaq Ecological Knowledge (MEK), better known as Two-Eyed Seeing.

GMRC Launching Atlantic Salmon Cycle Game

The Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC) launched an interactive game featuring the life cycle of the Atlantic Salmon in an educational format. The “Atlantic Salmon Cycle” game is an educational tool aimed at teaching youth about the biology of salmon, cultural relationships, and the threats facing salmon. We wanted to increase awareness of the human impact on salmon throughout their journey.

The GMRC partnered with Ingenium (Canada’s Museums of Science and Technology), the Gulf Region of the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and the First Nations Education Directorate of New Brunswick (EECD) to develop this educational and outreach tool. The game was created by First Mobile Education and inspired by the “Our First Catch” book. “Our First Catch” was designed and illustrated by Listuguj community member, Brandon Mitchell. We wanted to create a platform to connect kids with the mediums they are using.

The Atlantic Salmon Cycle game will be launched during the International Year of the Salmon in 2019. The North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization (NASCO) declared 2019 as the International Year of the Salmon as an “initiative to inform and stimulate outreach and research that aspires to establish the conditions necessary to ensure the resilience of salmon and people throughout

the Northern Hemisphere.” The Atlantic Salmon Cycle game will allow us to engage youth internationally and will be made available on our website at www.gmrc.ca.

The Atlantic Salmon Cycle game is a trilingual game created in French, English and Mi’gmaq. Having the game in the Mi’gmaw language was important to our

organization because our language is critical to who we are and how we interpret the natural environment. The game is also being launched as the United Nations (UN) also declared 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages.

According to the UN nearly 40% of the 6,700 languages are in danger of disappearing and a large percentage of these are Indigenous languages. The

UN recently stated, “and yet, they are not only leaders in protecting the environment, but their languages represent complex systems of knowledge and communication and should be recognized as a strategic national resource for development, peace building and reconciliation.”

The Mi’gmaq people have a strong cultural connection to salmon and we want to engage our youth to ensure this species and their habitats are conserved, restored, and respected so salmon will be around for future generations.

During the past year, our organization has been busy hosting information sessions with our membership communities of Listuguj, Eel River Bar and Pabineau.

Strengthening CommunicationsKeeping our membership informed is a priority for the Gespe’gewaq Mi’gmaq Resource Council (GMRC). During the past year, our organization has been busy hosting information sessions in Listuguj, Eel River Bar and Pabineau which provides us with a great opportunity to strengthen relationships with our membership. We get to share information with those, and listen to the valuable feedback community members share with us.

Throughout the year we have been using social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to share information with you. We have also launched our new website at www.gmrc.ca. You are invited to browse through our newly launched website to learn about all the exciting research being conducted at GMRC. Access our site and you can view the articles, pictures, videos and story maps that highlight the interesting work we do here at GMRC.

Working as the communication officer at GMRC during the past year has been an incredible experience. I enjoyed being out on the field and learning about the research being conducted on the watershed and the about the species within our waters. This job helps create a stronger connection between me and the environment we live in. I also enjoy it because of the relationships I build with the people from Pabineau, Listuguj, and Eel River Bar.

We have also been building stronger relationships with other organizations. During the summer of 2018 we partnered together with Anquotum, an AAROM based in Miramichi, to host a science camps for the youth of Pabineau and Eel River Bar. We have also hosted science camps for the youth in Listuguj. GMRC organized shoreline

cleanups in Listuguj and Eel River Bar to prevent any debris from entering the Restigouche River and Bay of Chaleur. We would like to thank the volunteers for taking the time to participate in the shoreline cleanups.

We have also been collecting household batteries for the “Call 2 Recycle” program. During the last year we have collected over 6 large boxes of batteries, keeping those batteries out of the landfills. A big thank you goes out to all of you who have collected your old batteries and brought them to us for recycling. Our office is continuing to collect batteries, and we are aiming to collect even more batteries than we did last year.

Pilot Project Launched to Restore Eelgrass in Eel River BarEel grass is an important aquatic species in our coastal ecosystems in Eastern Canada, however, it has been on a decline due to a number of factors. GMRC launched a pilot project in the fall of 2018, in Eel River Bar, to restore the eel grass populations within the Eel River estuary.

Eel grass is an aquatic vegetation with long, green blades of sea grass that grows in estuaries and shallow bays. Eel grass is home to a variety of fish species and invertebrates, and it also helps to improve the water quality by filtering and trapping sediment, pollutants and nutrients.

Declines in the eelgrass population have been attributed to increasing water temperatures, excess nutrients, lack of oxygen, sedimentation and invasive species. One notable invasive species is the green crab, as they dig up the roots and cut off the blades of grass, effectively killing the plant. The green crab has not been detected in our area, but its presence has been confirmed just south of Shippagan.

Before the GMRC began work to restore the eel grass population in the Eel River estuary, the staff received training to ensure this project, the eel grass harvesting and planting, were successful. After acquiring the new skill set, the team collected live, but floating, eel grass shoots along the shoreline and used these to thread

through a hole drilled in the center of a clam shell. The clamshells were used to anchor the eelgrass blades into the sediment, at a 45-degree angle, allowing the grass to re-root.

Throughout the estuary, a total of 42 sites were replanted with the eelgrass/shell pairing. GMRC staff documented these locations with pictures and recorded the GPS coordinates of each location to assess in following years which areas were successful with regrowth.

The methodologies being used in this pilot project are being used around the world and have shown to been successful. GMRC will monitor the sites were the eel grass was planted in the fall of 2019 to determine if the pilot project was a success.

Throughout the estuary, a total of 42 sites where replanted with the eelgrass/shell pairing.

Fish FriendsSeven years ago, GMRC launched the Fish Friends program to educate youth about the life cycle of Atlantic salmon and threats facing the species. This year, students from the Alaqsitew Gitpu, L.E. Reinsbourough, Terry Fox Elementary and the Mi’gmaq Immersion program in Listuguj cared for eyed-eggs in classroom aquariums, for a two-month period. River rocks and fresh water created a habitat for the eyed-eggs and the water temperature was regulated using a chiller, during the course of the program.

Each year, broodstock are collected from different rivers. Eggs and sperm are collected from these fish in late October. Initially called green eggs, they only become “eyed eggs” once they are fertilized with the milt collected from male salmon.

Approximately 300 eyed eggs are cared for in each aquarium. The eggs are monitored by degree-days and as they hatch, they are called alevin, and are characterized by yolk sacks attached to their bodies that will be used as their energy source during growth. Once the yolk sacks are absorbed, the students will begin feeding them dried seafood pellets before they are released.

GMRC staff visit the schools and present information on the life cycle of the salmon, threats facing Atlantic salmon, and promote ways they can be good stewards for the salmon. They also talk to the youth about the cultural connection and importance the salmon have to the Mi’gmaq people.

When the salmon alevins have absorbed their yolk, they are now considered to be parr and it is time to return

the salmon into their natal river, the river their parent fish came from. Last year, all the students gathered along the Eel River in Eel River Crossing to participate in a “Release Day”, which began with welcoming remarks and a traditional water ceremony. After the ceremony, the students released their salmon from glass jars into the river, a bittersweet moment for the children.

GMRC would like to thank volunteer Roland Lavallee for helping ensure the Fish Friends program is a success. He plays a big role in helping to engage the youth with his excitement for the program and helping to instill the importance of caring for salmon. A big thank you goes out to the teachers from each of the schools, who care for the eyed eggs throughout the program.

We would also like to thank our sponsor, the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund for financially contributing to this program. We would also like to thank Eel River Crossing for hosting us in their community during the Fish Friends Release.

GMRC staff visit the schools and present information on the life cycle of the salmon, threats facing Atlantic salmon, and promote ways they can be good stewards for the salmon.
