The report presents the results of a reconnaissance level “Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory” of West Julian Holland Lake 460-6006-508-005-283-218-502-01 performed to the current standards provided by the Resources Inventory Committee (RIC). West Julian...

In 1997, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to produce a map that would allow licensees and contractors to direct their referrals more efficiently. DFO was receiving referrals...

Juvenile salmonid populations in two tributary streams to the Morice River system, Owen and Lamprey Creeks, were assessed by the Fish Habitat Improvement Section in the fall of 1980. Objectives were directed at steelhead enhancement opportunities in the two...

The major emphasis of the study was to provide a broad-based aquatic inventory at an operational and landscape level to facilitate planning for forest development that minimizes impacts on the aquatic resources of the watershed. Emphasis was placed on...

This project is part of the joint Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and BC Ministry of Environment program to reduce the incidental interception of steelhead bound for the Skeena River by 50%. Monitoring of key Skeena steelhead stocks will be...

The objective of this report is to present a concise distillation and elaboration where necessary, of the existing knowledge, studies and reports related to fish, fish habitat, other aquatic resources, riparian management, and generally factors related to...

A survey investigating the fish, and especially the steelhead values, of the small feeder creeks of the Morice River was conducted from August 6-15, 1975. The biological data included fish species present, invertebrates, in-stream and bank vegetation,...

This report determines the timing of sockeye, spring and coho migration leaving Morice Lake, the population size of sockeye smolts leaving Morice Lake, and the length weight, age and scale characteristics of the sockeye migrants.

This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of...

This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention....

Stock monitoring was conducted at several locations in the Bulkley/Morice system by Regional staff in 1984 and 1985. Many areas were sampled for the first time, and others were repeat (annual) sample sites. Stream-specific data are appended to this general...

Summary of sport fishery survey catch and effort estimates for 1996 on the Bulkley River between the Skeena and Morice confluences and the Morice River from its confluences with the Bulkley River and Lamprey Creek. The purpose of the survey was to gather...

This steelhead tagging program, combined with a recapture phase, allows an estimate of the number of steelhead in the Bulkley system upstream of Moricetown Canyon. In Autumn 2000~ the program was again conducted, with tags applied in three different...

This report provides the B.C. Ministry of Environment, Lands & Parks (BCE) with a review of cattle farming in the Skeena Region, and a recommendation for monitoring the impact of cattle and other livestock operations on community watersheds, including...

The Habitat Restoration and Salmon Enhancement Program (HRSEP) was established in 1996/97 to complement the Pacific Salmon Revitalization Strategy. The main objective of the federally funded HRSEP is to revitalize salmonid populations in British Columbia...

This document contains a detailed fish habitat, riparian, and channel assessment of Dahlie Creek. Low channel complexity, removal of riparian vegetation, culvert obstructions to fish passage, sedimentation, altered flow regime, and channelization were some...

The Morice LRMP provides policy direction on the management of land and resources in the Morice LRMP area, and provides direction for the establishment of landscape level legal objectives. There are four main sections to the plan: General Management...

In April of 2020, the Society for Ecosystem Restoration Northern British Columbia (SERNbc) undertook an initiative to plan and conduct fish passage restoration planning activities in the Bulkley River and Morice River watershed groups. This report outlines...

This report by the Wet'suwet'en Nation and Fisheries and Oceans Canada is intended as a framework towards the recovery of sockeye in the Morice Recovery Unit.
