1952 bathymetric map of Lake Kathlyn by the BC Department of Recreation and Conservation.

We examine the direct effects of multiple disturbance agents on individual tree development and stand productivity in 15–40-year-old managed forests in British Columbia, Canada. Our primary interest was to establish a baseline assessment of damage in these...

This is a historical guide documenting peak flow data from the early 1930s to late 1980s. This data for the region is presented tables, maps and graphs, and provides examples of estimating peak flows for ungauged basins using this information.

This report is a preliminary examination of environmental DNA collected in the Morice and Bulkley river systems through the STREAM (Sequencing The Rivers for Environmental Assessment and Monitoring) biomonitoring project. This report aims to highlight the...

The federal Wild Salmon Policy provides an excellent opportunity to both greatly improve salmon management and to achieve significant progress in meeting other ecosystem management commitments. So far, Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff have built a strong...

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...

Meeting minutes/notes from Skeena Knowledge Trustee meetings in reverse chronological order (i.e. most recent at the top).

This dataset comprises water temperature information collected from 15 hydrometric stations in the Upper Bulkley River watershed since 2016. Resources include interpretative reports, a link to an interactive dashboard featuring the results, a monitoring...

In 2019, the Morice Watershed Monitoring Trust dedicated their annual monitoring program to expanding seasonal representation of water quality surface samples collected from within the Morice Watershed Management Area. Results reflect similar trends in the...

The Morice Water Management Area (MWMA) was established in 2007 by the Morice Land and Resource Management Plan with the intent to protect the hydrological integrity, water quality, water quantity, and fisheries of the upper Morice River watershed. The...

In effort to ameliorate riparian vegetation and reduce streambank erosion on the Upper Bulkley River, willow cuttings were planted and streambanks stabilized on private land parcels along the banks of the river. Four sites were planted in the Spring of 2021...

Three reports are provided that aim to detail the dominant landscape and cryospheric determinants of water quality and quantity in the upper Morice River region from the late-20th century, through today and to forecast conditions to 2100. The first report...

These reports summarize the reconnaissance level fish and fish habitat inventories for various locations along the Bulkley River. Sensitive habitats and barriers are discussed, and fish summary tables and images are provided for the creeks examined within...

The Annual Monitoring Plan sets out the year’s proposed activities and budget which are created from the MWMT Monitoring Framework and is consistent with the MWMT Agreement.

This record is the continuation of a pilot project undertaken in the Central Coast (Areas 6-7-8-9-10) during the 1983, 1984, and 1985 salmon seasons. It was designed as an in-season management tool and as a record of the fishery and of the management...

During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were...

Sockeye underyearlings at Babine Lake. B.C. were observed to undergo diel vertical movement from July through to October 1967. This movement was more pronounced in August when the lake was most distinctly thermally stratified. The presence of a sharp...

The 1994 steelhead catches in the commercial fishery of Area 4 were estimated by reference to the steelhead:sockeye ratio from observer records, and adjusted hail reports. The estimates obtained indicated that approximately 8494 steelhead were caught in...

British Columbia's Babine Lake system has three populations of sockeye salmon smolts which travel different routes to the outlet on their seaward migration. The objective of this study was to determine if the directional preferences of these populations are...

This habitat report card is part of a 2013 project by ESSA Technologies that summarizes pressures on the habitat used by Skeena salmon Conservation Units (CUs) during their freshwater life history stages (migration, spawning and rearing), as well as their...
