When I posted a fish storm drain earlier this month, I mentioned that there are a few different styles of them in my region. This one was seen in a municipal parking lot and there were a few of them throughout the lot. I am still on the lookout for the third style, which is actually the first one that came to mind for this project, but now I can't seem to find one!
For anyone who missed the explanation in the comments section of my first fishy storm drain post, there is meaning behind the fish that go along with storm drains. They're meant to be a conservation thing, reminding people that storm drains feed into fish-bearing waterways and chemicals that might harm the wildlife should be kept out of the drains.
That's wonderful! Well spotted! I'm so enjoying your fish series. Interesting and very valid explanation behind these fish designs on storm drain covers.
Cool looking drain. In the Vancouver area they just get a fish stencil and spray paint the fish on the drain. Serves the same purpose but doesn't look as nice as yours.
@cdcook48 Sometimes we have yellow fish stencilled next to them; I've actually been looking out for those but haven't been able to spot any lately! I think those ones are part of a national program called Yellow Fish Road, so if yours are yellow too it might be part of the same thing!
@princessicajessica I had not heard of the Yellow Fish program until you mentioned it so I Googled it and discovered that it is active in our area so that is indeed what I have been seeing. A much more cost effective way of getting the message out.
Well spotted… your poissons avril is looking good.
