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...

This report outlines the unaddressed issues that remain after the mitigation proposal presented by Petronas for a suspension bridge over Flora Bank.

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...

Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an...

The goal of the project was to compile and share existing data that identify habitat of sockeye salmon in the Skeena watershed. This in turn supports implementation of the Wild Salmon Policy. Ecotrust Canada carried out this work for the Habitat...

The Environmental Implications of Sediment Transport in the Waters of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada: A Comparison Between Kinematic and Dynamic Approaches. A Sediment Trend Analysis (STA) was performed on 2474 grain-size distributions taken from...

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

This project assessed key pressures on salmon habitat in the Skeena River estuary. The authors used benchmarks to assess the status of salmon habitat indicators and identified critical knowledge gaps and future monitoring needs.

A review of the Skeena estuary and the proposed industrial developments in the area.

This Skeena Cumulative Effects Assessment (SCEA) documents the analysis of the cumulative effects of individual and multiple physical, biological and chemical stressors associated with human activities on three key species: eulachon, Chinook salmon and...

A collaborative research team of academic and First Nation scientists has been studying the Skeena River estuary ecosystem and its juvenile salmon. After 4 years, 100 boat days, 500 net hauls, and nearly 200,000 fish sampled, this program represents the...

Prince Rupert and surrounding area shoreline classification map and appendix.

Presentation on the juvenile salmon monitoring program 2014 field season update.

This report examines the salmon habitat utilization of five species of Pacific salmon in the greater Skeena River estuary. In particular, interest is given in salmon habitat utilization in light of several large-scale industrial development projects pending...

This paper examines the geographic and temporal habitat utilization of juvenile anadromous salmon in the greater Skeena estuary in relation to the footprints of the proposed industrial development projects. These data can help illuminate the current status...

This fact sheet provides information on estuaries and an overview of protection plans.

This project assesses land-use and marine management plans for ecological values related to the Skeena River estuary. Results are presented in two sections: Section 1 compiles existing values and objectives from land-use and marine plans applicable to the...

In 2010 we carried out the first watershed-wide radiotelemetry project for Chinook salmon in the Skeena River. Our objectives were to tag Chinook and trace them to their spawning sites, determine the effectiveness of the latest Skeena Chinook microsatellite...
