A survey investigating the fish, and especially the steelhead values, of the small feeder creeks of the Morice River was conducted from August 6-15, 1975. The biological data included fish species present, invertebrates, in-stream and bank vegetation,...

The Gosnell Creek watershed is a pristine wilderness area which has high fisheries and wildlife values. It has been recognized by several government agencies as a unique area and this has resulted in the creation of a planning format called the Gosnell...

This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention....

Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and...

This consolidated baseline report aims to provide information on field programs and their respective field summaries for the the 2017 to spring 2018 programs of the Tenas Project.

Map showing salmon habitat overlain with current and proposed infrastructure development in northwest BC. Infrastructure includes roads, forestry cutblocks, mines, transmission lines, pipelines, transmission lines, major projects, agricultural land tenures,...

Wild Salmon Policy indicators including road density, stream crossing density, riparian disturbance, and anthropogenic total land cover alternation (TLCA) were calculated for the Kispiox Timber Supply Area (TSA) using BC freshwater atlas (FWA) assessment...

The Kispiox Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) is a sub-regional land use plan for 1.2 million hectares in west central British Columbia. The LRMP provides management objectives, strategies and zones to guide the sustainable use of provincial Crown...

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 Salmon Policy Strategy 2. Pressure Indicators included are Road Density, Riparian Disturbance, and...

This audit focused on the extent to which Transport Canada and the Canada Energy Regulator implemented recommendations from our 2011 and 2015 reports regarding these organizations’ compliance and enforcement responsibilities for the safe transportation of...

Roads are a significant feature in the forest landscape and represent a considerable reduction in the area of forest land that can be used for timber production. The mean widths of three types of roads (mainline, operational, and in-block) in the Lakes...

Assessment of stream protection practices in the interior of the Prince Rupert Forest Region. Stream protection measures used in forestry operations in the interior of the Prince Rupert Forest Region were reviewed through interviews and field inspections....

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...

In the Upper Bulkley and Morice basins of the Skeena watershed, climate change and human induced stresses are contributing to the degradation of aquatic resources, including salmon populations. It is apparent that collaborative efforts to better manage and...

A reconnaissance survey of Cerber Lake within the Bulkley River watershed. The purpose of this survey was to provide essential fish and fish habitat information required for resource planning or making management decisions for Cerber Lake.

This report outlines results from three years of RCA model development for the Skeena Region. It includes the development of standard methods for collecting and analyzing data for use in the RCA for bio monitoring in the Skeena region, results of...

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,...

This report summarizes fish and fish habitat values within the Copper River watershed and describes impacts to both the fisheries resource and riparian habitats regulating from forest development and harvesting activities. Recommendations for further...

This report is the initial survey of the impacted areas within the Mid-Bulkley Watershed and denotes the nature of the impact from past timber harvesting and road building practices.

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...
