Watercourse Crossing Management Made Simple

The SCARI Program

SCARI (Stream Crossing and Aquatic Resource Inventory) is a comprehensive data collection and data management system designed to complete full cycle roadway watercourse crossing management.

SCARI is a scalable system and will ensure regulatory compliance for roadway watercourse crossing owners. The SCARI program manages all data for planning, operations, and historical record keeping in a spatial and temporal GIS that serves to correct the legacy failures of historic crossings that are harming the provincial fishery.
