Bii Wenii Kwa/Owen Creek Watershed Status Evaluation report

This report provides important baseline information for the study area in 2014 and is intended to convey WSEP results and recommendations to land managers, including Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs, the provincial government, industry decision makers, and the public to help affirm and improve natural resource management practices.

The Watershed Status Evaluation Protocol (WSEP) is a science-based watershed monitoring tool that ties together landscape level GIS assessment with a series of existing on-the-ground sampling protocols. The WSEP is focused on legal “fisheries sensitive watersheds” and can also be used to monitor other watersheds with fish values.

FREP MISSION: Collect and communicate the best available natural resource monitoring information to inform decision making, improve resource management outcomes and provide evidence of government’s commitment to environmental sustainability
