Researcher Karen Kidd says the report, which looks at how the river has changed over the last four decades, shows some parts of the river that have definitely improved over time. She says that's likely because we've done a better job managing our waste water.
Kid says problem spots remain below Edmunston, and between Grand Falls and Mactaquac where oxygen levels are lower and fish have a harder time thriving in their environments.
She says the hope now is that stakeholders will step forward to discuss how things can be improved.
