Above you will see the tolerance levels of the Coho Salmon compared to Bowker Creek's levels.  The levels above are the maximum amount of levels that a Coho Salmon can tolerate.

The idea to restore Bowker Creek began to bloom several years ago.

If and when the Coho Salmon return, we hope that the millions eggs they lay will not be harmed so the Salmon community can thrive once more in Bowker Creek.

The categories in the photo are the essential conditions and molecular substances needed in a thriving aquatic environment. To the right of them are the levels and amounts of these substances Bowker Creek has. (ppm = parts per million)

The creekbed took a lot of design, research and thought. These curves benefit smaller creatures, by providing small areas for them to find shelter from the current. This supports more life in the stream. When the water rises, it flows in a predetermined way, purposefully designed for better flow and to reduce plant uprooting. 

There were two main types of Salmon that inhabited Bowker Creek; The Chum Salmon and the Coho Salmon. Above you will see a photo I created showing you the two different types of Salmon, male and female.

If salmon were to return to Bowker Creek, they would not only help the creek to reach a climax community, they would increase Bower Creek's connection to the community. Having salmon would make more people interested in helping with the restoration and learning about Victoria's ecosystems.
