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...

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...

The Gitksan Watershed Authorities, in collaboration with Skeena Fisheries Commission, initiated a water temperature data monitoring program in 2020. The program established 164 water temperature monitoring sites and 8 air temperature monitoring sites...

The 2022 edition of the LakeKeepers manual was produced by the Board of Directors and staff of the BC Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS) for individuals and groups interested in protecting and preserving lake habitats in British Columbia. The LakeKeepers...

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...

Studies in Porpoise Channel, Porpoise Harbour and Wainwright Basin during 1986 encompassed physical, chemical, and biological assessments of the local environment. These parameters ultimately being related to the discharge of kraft pulpmill effluent into...

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...

A weblink to the Lake Kathlyn sampling history and monitoring results on the BC Lake Monitoring Network.

As early as 1970, and continuing into the year 1973, concerned citizens of the Smithers area brought to the attention of the Water Resources Services the fact that nuisance weed growths were occurring (and increasing) in Kathlyn Lake. In response to this...

This study examined the effects of release time on the migratory behaviour and survival of wild and hatchery-reared coho salmon using acoustic and coded-wire telemetry.

This report included Habitat Restoration Prescriptions for 12 sites on the Bulkley River, 2 sites on Foxy Creek, and 1 site on lower Maxan Creek.

This report presents a preliminary set of strategies for sustainable forest management in the Nadina Forest District in an era of climate change. These “adaptation strategies” address some of the major challenges presented by climate change. This report is...

The use of cod traps was assessed in four small lakes of the Skeena Region. Traps were deployed during lake trout index netting assessments to gain expense and labour efficiencies. Basic life history parameters were described for pooled samples of burbot as...

Land use activities have had a significant impact on many of the tributaries within the central Bulkley River watershed. Preliminary air photo analysis has indicated that high value fish habitat has been moderately to severely impacted in a large proportion...

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...

This steelhead study included a population estimate of the upper Babine River and a trial operation of the Babine River Weir for future enumeration of the upper Babine and Boucher Creek populations. A mark/recapture study was conducted to assess the 1993/94...

The object of this thesis is to provide results from analysis to aid forest managers to define acceptable levels of impact for a particular stream and evaluate the likelihood that proposed forest practices will increase temperatures beyond these levels.

This report describes dissolved oxygen and water temperature measurements conducted at 50 locations in the Bulkley Watershed during the period March 12 to March 18, 1996.

The Office of the Wet'suwet'en (OW) presents this submission to British Columbia Environmental Assessment Agency (BC EAO). This submission is a component of the Wet'suwet'en response in respect of the proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline project within...
