Natural Resource Stewardship Monitoring and Assessment Reports are a summary of existing resource value monitoring and assessment information for a given geographic area. Data in this report has been arranged into the following categories: fish and water,...

The projects in this report are planning exercises based upon the simple thesis, “If you want this specific value in 50 years (be it swimming or water quality or grizzly bears), these are the requirements for that value which must be in place in order for...

Upper Bulkley fish and aquatic review: stream flow, surface water licenses and groundwater wells. The Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review Project produced a set of analyses focused on select pressure and quantity indicators as determined by the Wild...

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...

This report reviews existing water, fisheries, and land-use related information for the Lakelse River watershed, considered for Fisheries Sensitive Watershed designation. This review is to determine if significant fish values occur in the watershed, and if...

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 project develops a framework for implementing a collaborative freshwater salmon habitat-monitoring program in the Skeena watershed. Its purpose is to help catalyze federal Wild Salmon Policy strategy 2 implementation and stimulate ecosystem based...

In 2005 and 2006, DFO worked with multiple stakeholders to develop the Lakelse Sockeye Recovery Plan in an attempt to halt the estimated 92% decline in this stock that was observed from around 1990 through 2002. The recovery plan identified stable sockeye...

This pilot project used the WSE Tier I GIS-based methods described in Porter et al. (2013) to assess the watershed indicator “risk” status of 71 watersheds across most of British Columbia’s natural resource regions. Measured values for as many as nine...

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...

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...

Prince Rupert LNG Limited (PRLNG) proposes to develop a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility on Ridley Island at the Port of Prince Rupert British Columbia (BC). The name of the project is Prince Rupert LNG (the Project). This document describes the project.

A summary report of the main initiatives within the Lakelse watershed in 2016, which included William Creek sockeye seining, water samplings in various locations, fish sampling, invertebrate sampling, salmon enumeration, Northwest Community College field...

This report is part of BC Hydro's transmission line from Terrace to Kitimat planning process to identify potential Project effects and proposed mitigation for biophysical or socio-economic study topic.

The overall goal of this scan is to inform a shared vision for water monitoring and reporting in BC. This scan collected information on surface and groundwater quality and quantity monitoring and reporting in British Columbia, providing examples of who is...

Conservation scientists rarely have the information required to understand changes in abundance over more than a few decades, even for important species like Pacific salmon. Such lack of historical information can underestimate the magnitude of decline for...

This study used microsatellite markers to characterize fine-scale population structures among populations of juvenile steelhead from tributaries of the Bulkley-Morice River. It applied genotype assignment procedures, similar to those used in genetic stock...

The project objectives for Maxan creek were to remove the Strimbold Bridge that is impacting fish habitat and likely a barrier to fish passage at some flows, and may pose an environmental risk if washed downstream due to flood event.

This report summarizes the Pacific Northern Gas Looping Project by describing the project, areas of federal interest, the resource and material requirements, indigenous engagement, public engagement, project setting, and potential project effects.

The objectives of this plan are three-fold. First, the plan describes the methods that will be used to quantify the amount of compensatory fish habitat needed to offset the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction (HADD) resulting from the Project....
