New this week: A dam collapsed on Sat., April 4 on the Dunk River near Summerside, Prince Edward Island. On ASF's Facebook page there is a link to a YouTube video, taken by ASF, showing the damage and the destructive silt-laden water roaring downstream. Undoubtedly it destroyed redds and incubating eggs with covering silts

Almost all Fish Friends schools will have received their eggs for growing out in classroom incubators by the end of this week. In Nova Scotia, one special classroom is located in Dingwall.
