This habitat report card is part of a 2013 project by ESSA Technologies that summarizes pressures on the habitat used by Skeena salmon Conservation Units (CUs) during their freshwater life history stages (migration, spawning and rearing), as well as their relative vulnerability to those pressures. Report cards are available for each individual CU in the Skeena watershed; this supplementary ‘Skeena Estuary’ report card summarizes information for estuary indicators that are important for all Skeena salmon CUs. For a summary explanation of the indicators shown below, please see the end of this report card.
