In an effort to effectively inform and ensure Canadians feel engaged in the delivery of its science mandate, DFO produces Fieldnotes, an annual compendium of planned science field operations in the North Pacific and Arctic oceans, as well as in the coastal and interior waters of British Columbia and Yukon. Fieldnotes aims to: . inform Canadians of research and monitoring programming scheduled for the COVID-19 coming year; . promote the sharing of key information and data in a coordinated, timely, open and One year into the global pandemic, DFO transparent manner in order to encourage remains committed to delivering innovative dialogue and collaboration; science and services to Canadians. provide a platform from which to build and Following the suspension of scientific field nurture fundamentally more inclusive, trust- and respect-based relationships with all operations in the spring of 2020, DFO has Canadians; since resumed much of its field programming. reaffirm and honour the reconciliation All field activities that proceed continue to be commitment to renewed relationships with guided by a prioritization assessment, adhere Indigenous peoples based on the to guidance provided by public health recognition of rights, respect, cooperation authorities, and follow safe work procedures. and partnerships; Regular monitoring and evaluation of safety . foster conditions that facilitate the pooling of protocols remain paramount to ensuring the collective expertise, experience, and health and safety of DFO employees and their resources, and, families, as well as that of collaborators, . further DFO’s commitment to the principles Indigenous communities and the public. and pursuit of scientific integrity.

Through focused and collaborative initiatives aligned with the Department’s core priorities, Science Branch employees provide foundational services, products and advice for the Department’s management and conservation decisions, and play a pivotal role in ensuring commitments under several international treaties are realized. Refer to Annex A to learn more about the innovative, high quality research and extensive monitoring Science Branch employees undertake; the robust science advice, products and services they deliver; and the valuable data and information management services they provide in support of evidence- based decision- making. Pacific Region researchers and scientists conduct their work throughout the North Pacific, coastal and interior British Columbia, the Yukon, as well as the Western Arctic. Further, with a functional presence across the Region, Pacific Science staff are uniquely positioned to play a key role in the transformation of the Government of Canada’s relationship with Indigenous peoples based on the recognition and implementation of rights, respect, cooperation and partnership related to fisheries, oceans, habitat and marine waterways. 2 Fisheries and Oceans Canada – Pacific Region FIELDNOTES 2021 - 2022: DFO Pacific Science Field Operations SCHEDULED FIELD OPERATIONS: 2021—2022 Eighty DFO Science field operations have been scheduled for the offshore, nearshore, and inland waters of British Columbia and Yukon. 80 Fact sheets outlining details of this field programming are available in Annex B.

  • The Toxicological Effects of the Mount Polley Tailings Impoundment Breach on Freshwater Amphipods

PLOMP Bachelor of Science, University of Lethbridge, 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Department of Biological Sciences University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Raegan Plomp, 2019 THE TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THE MOUNT POLLEY TAILINGS IMPOUNDMENT BREACH ON FRESHWATER AMPHIPODS RAEGAN D. PLOMP Date of Defence: September 6, 2019 Dr. G. Pyle Professor Ph.D. Supervisor Dr. S. Wiseman Associate Professor Ph.D. Thesis Examination Committee Member Dr. R. Laird Associate Professor Ph.D. Thesis Examination Committee Member Dr. Laura Chasmer Assistant Professor Ph.D. Internal External Examiner Department of Geography Dr. T. Russell Associate Professor Ph.D. Chair, Thesis Examination Committee ii Abstract The bioavailability and toxicity of metals to amphipods is influenced by exposure route and co-toxic mechanisms. Metal bioavailability was studied in amphipods at sites affected by the 2014 Mount Polley Mining Corporation tailings impoundment breach. The area around the lake was also subjected to wildfire in 2017. Bioavailability was more correlated with sediment than waterborne metal concentrations with Cu correlating well with distance from the breach. Copper-sediment bioavailability to amphipods in combination with wildfire runoff was studied resulting in non-additive toxicity. Hyalella azteca exposed to Cu-enriched sediment with fire extract (FE) experienced a more-than- additive effect on survival and amphipod whole-body Cu concentration but no significant reduction in growth or acetylcholinesterase activity compared to the Cu-contaminated sediment or FE alone, respectively.

We also manage these properties. At this time of year, our land management team is busy getting ready for our field season. From May to August the majority of our on-the-ground work is done. Helping to make this happen are our Conservation Youth Crews and local volunteer stewardship groups. And we need your help too. Funds are required to: • hire Conservation Youth Crews in five BC regions, including Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, Kootenay, Okanagan, and Peace River. These crews will gain valuable work experience while performing critical land management activities on our conservation properties. • install interpretive signage at Twin Lakes Ranch Conservation Area, the White Lake Basin, Dunlevy Creek, Chilanko Marsh, and more. • restore habitat to benefit wildlife at Bull River, Columbia Lake, Boundary Bay, Vaseux Lake, and the Englishman Okanagan grasslands contain some of Canada’s most River conservation properties. imperiled ecosystems. Right now The Nature Trust has great opportunities to protect some of these endangered If you would like to support any of these important grasslands. We have property owners ready to sell us initiatives, please donate online, call 604-924-9771 to pay this critical habitat.

  • Offshore Oil & Gas in BC: a Chronology of Activity
    Offshore Oil & Gas in BC: A Chronology of Activity 1913-1915 First well drilled in the Queen Charlotte Basin by BC Oilfields Limited at Tian Bay, western Graham Island. Reported minor gas and oil shows below 1220 feet. 1949-1951 Eight wells were drilled onshore Graham Island. No discoveries were reported. 1959 British Columbia declares a Crown reserve over oil and gas resources in the area east of a line running north-south three miles seaward of Queen Charlotte Islands and Vancouver Island. Under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act, exploration permits over oil and gas in a Crown reserve can only be granted through public auction. 1962-1966 British Columbia Crown reserve over offshore oil and gas resources is cancelled to encourage companies to apply for exploration permits. 1966 British Columbia reinstates the Crown reserve over offshore oil and gas resources to the area beginning at the low-water mark seaward to the outer limits of Canada's Territorial Sea and to that area of the Continental Shelf capable of being exploited. 1966-1969 Canada withholds exploration approval in the Strait of Georgia until a federal-private study on the effects of seismic exploration on fish stocks is complete. 1967 British Columbia declares a Crown reserve over offshore mineral and placer minerals in same area as offshore oil and gas Crown reserve. 1967 The Supreme Court of Canada decides that the Territorial Sea off British Columbia, outside of bays, harbours and inland waters, belongs to Canada. 1967 Shell Canada begins a drilling program off Barkley Sound, Vancouver Island. Over the next two years, 14 wells are drilled in the offshore in the region from Barkley Sound north through Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait.
