Analysis and Priority Identification of Existing Fish Passage Data: Bulkley R...
For this project, existing fish passage information in the Bulkley River watershed located near Smithers, British Columbia, was reviewed in order to prioritize and rank culverts for further assessment and/or rehabilitation. A detailed review and... -
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... -
Provincial Obstacles to Fish Passage
The Provincial Obstacles to Fish Passage theme presents records of all known obstacles to fish passage from several fisheries datasets including the Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS); the Fish Habitat Inventory and Information Program (FHIIP); the... -
Provincial Stream Crossing Information System (PSCIS) Assessment Sites
Points where a fish passage assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure. These includes culverts, bridges, fords, etc. The assessments are carried out to determine whether fish are able to migrate through the structure. -
Provincial Stream Crossing Information System (PSCIS) Design Proposal Sites
Points where a fish passage assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure and found to be a failure. Design points have been identified as a priority for remediation based on a variety of potential criteria: quality of habitat upstream,... -
Ministry of Transportation (MOT) Culverts
A Culvert is a pipe (less than 3m in diameter) or half-round flume used to transport or drain water under or away from the road and/or right of way. Culverts that are greater than or equal to 3m in diameter are stored in the MoT Bridge Structure Road... -
Interim Assessment Protocol for Aquatic Ecosystems in British Columbia: Stand...
The Aquatic Ecosystems assessment protocol currently describes the derivation of a core set of watershed indicators that can be calculated consistently across the province using GIS data layers readily available from GeoBC or other ministry providers. The... -
GIS Modelling of Fish Habitat and Road Crossings for the Prioritization of Cu...
In British Columbia, culverted stream crossings in fish habitats often create barriers to fish passage. To address this issue, The Fish Passage Technical Working Group uses GIS analysis to locate culverted stream crossings in fish habitats and uses such...
