Salmonid Habitat Sensitivity Mapping Morice Forest District: Summary Report
In 1997, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to produce a map that would allow licensees and contractors to direct their referrals more efficiently. DFO was receiving referrals... -
Provincial Stream Crossing Information System (PSCIS) Remediation Sites
Points where a barrier to fish passage has been rectified or remediated. This is the third phase in the process and can only follow after (1) an assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure and has found that structure to be a barrier to... -
Provincial Stream Crossing Information System (PSCIS) Habitat Confirmation Sites
Points where an evaluation of the fish habitat up and downstream of a road crossing have been carried out. Phase 2 of 4 in the Fish Passage Workflow, Habitat Confirmations are done at sites where the crossing structure is known to be a failure. The Habitat... -
