The objective of the Freshwater Fish and Fish Habitat Program was to conduct field surveys of streams within and adjacent to the Project area (i.e., location of LNG plant infrastructure and ancillary facilities on Digby Island). This report presents the...

Assessment of stream protection practices in the interior of the Prince Rupert Forest Region. Stream protection measures used in forestry operations in the interior of the Prince Rupert Forest Region were reviewed through interviews and field inspections....

Field studies assessing fish and benthic invertebrate populations in Foxy Creek, a small stream located in north central British Columbia near Houston, were undertaken in late August and September 1984. As well, benthic invertebrate populations were...

Portal accessing real-time water-related data, including dataset download, mapping, and creation of charts. Parameters include snow surveys, surface water discharge, groundwater levels, water temperature, air temperature, precipitation, etc.

This report describes the results of the Babine Development Project evaluation program relative to the individual components within project, containing components which describe the individual projects from the predevelopment stage to the present.

This report reviews the extent and severity of the Swiss Fire burn in the Buck Creek watershed. From this review, an assessment is made of the potential for increases in peak streamflows, sediment production, and summer low streamflows.

This study had the following objectives: provide a source upon which the habitat protection section of the fish and wildlife branch could base protection guidelines, provide Northwood with an assessment of fishery values and related habitat which would be...

In the spring of 1999, the Community Futures Development Corporation of Nadina (CFDCN) was contracted by Barry Finnegan, Northern Coho Stock Assessment Biologist of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, to operate a Rotary Screw Trap (RST) on Buck Creek in the Upper...

A study to provide more detailed information on the timing and distribution of adult coho salmon spawning in the Telkwa River Basin was conducted between September and December 1982. Five tributary streams and the mainstem Telkwa River were examined for the...

Studies conducted by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada have indicated that sockeye fry densities are consistently lower in the main basin than in North Arm, despite similar densities of planktonic organisms. Basic productivity, as measured by the...

The Kemano Completion Project is massive. The Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) proposes a capital expenditure in excess of $2.2 billion which could increase aluminum production from its present level of 240,000 metric tonnes per year to 582,000 metric...

Hydrographical studies have been undertaken since 1971 by the Fisheries and Marine Service in the prime spawning areas of the Nanika and Morice Rivers. The purpose of the studies was to document the physical and hydraulic conditions under which spawning and...

This study reviews physical watershed characteristics, historical stream flow, and climatic data relevant to the Telkwa watershed. A simple modelling exercise is done to show the possible worst case effects of various degrees of forest harvesting on the...

This report is the result of studies undertaken in 1984 that evaluated aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates, and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and...

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The most recent concern has been an outburst of beaver...

A link to a recording of the Pacific Salmon Foundation 2021 Climate Adaptation Workshop hosted by the Pacific Salmon Foundation. The goal of this workshop was to bring together salmon scientists and stewards to discuss issues, challenges and solutions...

A geomorphological study of the Morice River floodplain, between the confluence of the Thautil River and Fenton Creek (Reach 2), was undertaken at the request of the Forest Service, Morice Forest District to identify the extent of the floodplain and prepare...

This report illustrates and discusses the temporal trends in groundwater and surface water chemistry before, during, and after mining. It is based on empirical and predicted geochemistry and on the latest groundwater modelling using the MODFLOW model.

Information on provincial snow survey data in BC. Snow survey data is collected from manual and electronic environmental monitoring sites across the province. Scientific data plays a major role in flood forecasting and determining snow pack, water levels...

The River Forecast Centre analyses snow pack, assesses seasonal water supply and flood risk, and predicts flows in British Columbia’s rivers and streams. It produces a range of bulletins, maps and warnings to inform emergency managers and the public about...
