Pacific Region Integrated Fisheries Management Plan, Shrimp Trawl PACIFIC REGION INTEGRATED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLAN SHRIMP TRAWL APRIL 1, 2021 TO MARCH 31, 2022 Smooth Pink Shrimp: Pandalus jordani Sidestripe Shrimp: Pandalopsis dispar This Integrated Fisheries Management Plan is intended for general purposes only. Where there is a discrepancy between the Plan and the Fisheries Act and Regulations, the Act and Regulations are the final authority. A description of Areas and Subareas referenced in this Plan can be found in the Pacific Fishery Management Area Regulations. FOREWORD The purpose of this Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP) is to identify the main objectives and requirements for the shrimp trawl fishery in the Pacific Region, as well as the management measures that will be used to achieve these objectives. This document also serves to communicate the basic information on the fishery and its management to Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) staff, legislated co-management boards and other stakeholders. This IFMP provides a common understanding of the basic “rules” for the sustainable management of the fisheries resource. This IFMP is not a legally binding instrument which can form the basis of a legal challenge. The IFMP can be modified at any time and does not fetter the Minister's discretionary powers set out in the Fisheries Act. The Minister can, for reasons of conservation or for any other valid reasons, modify any provision of the IFMP in accordance with the powers granted pursuant to the Fisheries Act. Where DFO is responsible for implementing obligations under land claims agreements, the IFMP will be implemented in a manner consistent with these obligations. In the event that an IFMP is inconsistent with obligations under land claims agreements, the provisions of the land claims agreements will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. 2021/2022 Shrimp Trawl Integrated Fisheries Management Plan TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

  • The Skeena River Estuary
    Morphodynamics of a Bedrock Confined Estuary and Delta: The Skeena River Estuary by Amanda Lily Wild B.Sc., University of Victoria, 2018 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science In the Department of Geography ©Amanda Wild, 2020 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. Morphodynamics of a Bedrock Confined Estuary and Delta: The Skeena River Estuary By Amanda Lily Wild B.Sc., University of Victoria, 2018 Supervisory Committee Dr. Eva Kwoll, Co-Supervisor Department of Geography Dr. Gwyn Lintern, Co-Supervisor Natural Resources Canada ii Abstract Bedrock islands add variation to the estuarine system that results in deviations from typical unconfined estuarine sediment transport patterns. Limited literature exists regarding the dynamics of seabed morphology, delta formation, sediment divergence patterns, and sedimentary facies classifications of non-fjordic bedrock confined systems. Such knowledge is critical to address coastal management concerns adequately. This research presents insights from the Skeena Estuary, a macrotidal estuary in northwestern Canada with a high fluvial sediment input (21.2-25.5 Mtyr-1). Descriptions on sub-environments, stratification, and sediment accumulation within the Skeena Estuary utilize HydroTrend model outputs of riverine sediment and discharge, Natural Resources Canada radiocarbon-dated sediment cores and grain size samples, and acoustic Doppler current profiler and conductivity-temperature-depth measurements from three field campaigns. Research findings delineate a fragmented delta structure with elongated mudflats and select areas of slope instability. Variations from well-mixed water circulation to lateral stratification, govern the slack tide flow transition and sediment transport pathways within seaward and landward passages of the estuary.

  • The Oceanography of Chatham Sound, British Columbia
    THE OCEANOGRAPHY OF CHATHAM SOUND, BRITISH COLUMBIA by RONALD WILMDT TRITES A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Physics We accept this thesis as conforming to the standard required from candidates for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Members of the Department of Physics THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1952 ABSTRACT A detailed analysis of data taken on an oceanographic survey of Chatham Sound in the spring and summer of 1948 is presented. The primary purpose of the survey was to determine, if possible, whether there was any obvious characteristic of the water in the region which could be correlated with the known migration of salmon to the spawning grounds up the Nass and Skeena Rivers. The path taken by the fresh water between the river mouths and the more open waters of Dixon Entrance and Hecate Strait is shown to depend on the volume of fresh water discharged from the rivers. The rivers reach their peak discharge in late May or early June and during this period the amount of fresh water in the sound is 3 - 4 times the average. The effect of tides on the distribution of properties is also discussed. Anchor stations occupied for periods varying from 10 - 40 hours indicates that as a rule there is a good correlation between tidal, salinity, and temp• erature cycles. ....Dynamicr calculations giving velocities, volume and fresh water transports have been made. During normal river discharge conditions, the agreement with the observed velocities, and fresh water discharge determined from gauge readings, suggests that even in these coastal waters there is an approximate balance between the horizontal pressure gradients and the coriolis force associated, with the motion.
