“The Department would like to thank the members of the public who alerted us to this event,” said Leri Davies. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is aware, as is Cowichan Tribes, Houle said, and everyone is working to figure out why the fish are dying.Ī spokesperson for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, said Conservation and Protection was notified of the fish kill on July 10 though the ORR (observe, record, report) line. “There’s a mysterious thing going on in that the fish in the main stem of the river near Horseshoe Bend are showing dead so there’s a big process right now trying to solve that,” Brian Houle, environmental manager of Paper Excellence’s Crofton mill said on July 13. A significant number of fish have been found dead in the canyon area near Skutz Falls along the Cowichan River, and authorities from multiple agencies, as well as members of the community, are trying to figure out why.
