This guidebook is designed to help forest and other resource managers and practitioners plan, prescribe, and implement sound forest practices for fishstream crossings that comply with both the Forest Practices Code and the
federal Fisheries Act. Specifically, the guidebook provides users with technical, statutory reference,
and process guidance for selecting and designing fish-stream crossings on forest roads (as well as mineral and petroleum access roads) that should (1) avoid harming fish and fish habitat, and (2) provide fish passage at stream
crossing sites.
