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...

Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluations arose out of the Forest and Range Practices Act as a way of measuring the effectiveness of the Act in accomplishing its forest stewardship objectives. The field procedure for Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluation...

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...

Map series depicting various marine values along the North Coast.

The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency...

In 1974 and 1975, the Fish and Wildlife Branch conducted field studies on the fish and wildlife populations in the Nanika-Kidprice system which would be affected by the proposed Kemano II project. The field portion of these studies was funded by B.C. Hydro....

A report with details on the Kathlyn Lake Watershed. Includes information on the hydrology, risk management levels and measures, existing water licenses, land cover, topography and historic and predicted climate change for the area. Lake measurement data is...

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...

Weblink to an interactive map that provides access to the locations of climate research stations in Northern BC and their respective data.

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....

Juvenile sockeye migration routes and habitat use were explored in this study by examining the abundance of sockeye smolts, the timing of collections, the size of smolts and their diet, and by using microsatellite DNA analysis and mixed stock assignment...

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 data report on beach seine samples from the Skeena estuary has information on salmon length/weight relationships, and stomach contents and, results for zooplankton and benthos samples representing the potential prey available for salmon at each beach...

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...

This report summarizes findings from our 2005 surveys of 7 North Coast Area lakes. Limnological surveys were carried out on 5 of the lakes in order to obtain a first estimate of the lakes' trophic status, juvenile sockeye rearing capacity, and factors...

The Watershed Restoration Program of British Columbia is a program whereby watersheds that have been damaged by past logging practices undergo restoration. The program involves a number of steps that commence with an overview study, followed by a detailed...

In 2003, Fisheries and Oceans Canada personnel carried out a study of the limnology and fish ecology of Lakelse Lake. A similar study was also carried out in 1994. The focus of the study was on juvenile sockeye rearing habitat, which is the offshore portion...

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