15.2 Bcfishpass

• bcfishpass is a collection of scripts to create and maintain an aquatic connectivity / fish passage database for British Columbia, run by Simon Norris. It’s a beast and there is a lot to look at.

• We use bcfishpass all the time. For example we use bcfishpass modelling in QGIS to evaluate stream crossings for fish passage.

• Take a thorough look through bcfishpass and test your knowledge with the bcfishpass accessibility and habitat modelling knowledge exercises, with answers found here.

• Whenever possible, we can update the bcfishpass database with new data through PRs.
