Bowker Creek is home to many differently aquatic invertebrate. We found that the most common water invertebrates were the blackfly larvae. In the Creek there are also water pennies, water mites, and aquatic worms.

There could be many reasons that the salmon never returned such as pollution, change in habitat, and not being able to access certain parts of the stream.
By OBG OBG
Bowker creek has a problem with pollution which means the organisms that the fry would eat cannot survive and even the fry might not survive. Also, there are some parts that would need a fish ladder.

Bowker Creek is located on the south tip of Vancouver Island. The creek starts at a wetland in the University of Victoria campus, flows through parts of Victoria, and eventually lets out in Oak Bay to the ocean.

- Who should be responsible for returning the salmon?
- Where would the money come from?
- How would you control pollution?
- How long would it take to restore the salmon?
By OBG OBG
In my opinion, this is a realistic goal. even though it won't happen anytime soon, with enough money and support from the community and government this could happen.

Bowker Creek is an 8 km long stream in an urban environment on Vancouver Island. Over 60% is underground in culverts and 30% is covered by impermeable surfaces.
