Chatham Sound Eelgrass Study Report
This report discusses the study on eelgrass in the Chatham Sound estuary. The study was aimed to provide quality data and recommendations to relevant management authorities (specifically the DFO, BC Parks and North Coast First Nations whose traditional... -
Assessing Estuaries as Stopover Habitats for Juvenile Pacific Salmon
Habitats along migratory routes may provide key resources for migratory species (e.g. stopover habitat). For example, migratory juvenile salmon transit through estuaries on their way from freshwaters out to the ocean, but they may also reside and feed in... -
