Wild Salmon Policy Indicator Analysis 2022 for Babine River Watershed

These Wild Salmon Policy (WSP) habitat indicator assessment reports for Babine River are intended as a coarse filter approach to identify watersheds that are potentially at risk of exceeding thresholds for the four WSP habitat indicators (Road Density, Stream Crossing Density, Total Land Cover Alteration, and Riparian Disturbance). These reports present the results of GIS-based (Tier 1) methods for assessing the status of a particular freshwater aquatic habitat pressure indicator and determining the watershed indicator “risk” status by comparing the measured values to indicator benchmarks. Pressure indicators are identified by Canada’s WSP as proactive measures of identifying potential impacts to salmon habitat within a watershed. Additional information on the WSP is available at here. The analysis presented in this report was carried out using standardized provincial datasets and did not integrate field-based (Tier 2) information or industry datasets. The results are presented for informational purposes and are not intended to replace operational watershed assessments.
