For this project, existing fish passage information in the Bulkley River watershed located near Smithers, British Columbia, was reviewed in order to prioritize and rank culverts for further assessment and/or rehabilitation. A detailed review and...

Northern Gateway Pipelines Limited Partnership proposed to design, construct, and operate two pipelines extending from Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat, British Columbia. Field surveys completed included sampling of fish species assemblages and habitat...

The BC Land Based Investment (LBI) fish passage program is focused on remediating stream crossings that impede freshwater fish migration. The most common barrier to fish is improperly designed and installed closed bottom structures such as culverts....

This habitat report card was developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena sockeye for migration, spawning, and rearing, as well as their relative...

This submission from the Office of the Wet'suwet'en (OW) to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) is a response to the CEAA report regarding the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG project near LeLu Island.

The Bulkley River upstream of the Morice River has some of the most intense public and private land use in the Skeena watershed. The purpose of this assessment was to document human-induced modifications to floodplain habitat and river channelization,...

The Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review project produced a set of analyses focused on select pressure and quantity indicators as determined by the Wild Salmon Policy Strategy 2. Pressure Indicators included are Road Density, Riparian Disturbance, and...

This dataset provides a link to a report from the Pacific Salmon Foundation describing the methods and results of a synoptic regional-scale overview of habitat pressures and vulnerabilities for 11 Chinook, 3 coho, 3 chum, 4 pink, and 2 river sockeye...

This dataset provides a link to a report from the Pacific Salmon Foundation describing the methods and results of a synoptic regional-scale overview of habitat pressures and vulnerabilities within defined ZOIs for 32 lake sockeye conservation units located...

Points where a barrier to fish passage has been rectified or remediated. This is the third phase in the process and can only follow after (1) an assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure and has found that structure to be a barrier to...

Points where an evaluation of the fish habitat up and downstream of a road crossing have been carried out. Phase 2 of 4 in the Fish Passage Workflow, Habitat Confirmations are done at sites where the crossing structure is known to be a failure. The Habitat...

Points where a fish passage assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure. These includes culverts, bridges, fords, etc. The assessments are carried out to determine whether fish are able to migrate through the structure.

Points where a fish passage assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure and found to be a failure. Design points have been identified as a priority for remediation based on a variety of potential criteria: quality of habitat upstream,...

Sheffield studies and office-based reviews for this Bell-Irving Route Study Report were completed in August 2010. This report presents the results of baseline information collected as well as an evaluation of potential project effects on VECs along the...

The purpose of this project is to document alterations and impacts to Wet’suwet’en land and resources, particularly in regard to anadromous and freshwater resident fish and their habitats in Morice watershed. Alterations and impacts resulting from...

This project involved the assessment of all designated fish-streams crossings in the priority watersheds within the study area to determine which stream crossing structures were barriers and preventing fish passage. Recommendations were made for each stream...

This study used microsatellite markers to characterize fine-scale population structures among populations of juvenile steelhead from tributaries of the Bulkley-Morice River. It applied genotype assignment procedures, similar to those used in genetic stock...

The project objectives for Maxan creek were to remove the Strimbold Bridge that is impacting fish habitat and likely a barrier to fish passage at some flows, and may pose an environmental risk if washed downstream due to flood event.
