HD319.B7B74 2003 333.91’7’097112 C2003-960035-1 Purpose This policy document has been developed cooperatively by the Coast and Marine Planning Branch, BC Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management and the Central Coast Regional Office of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. It is intended to provide direction for provincial tenure approval in the intertidal and nearshore environment of the Plan Area and policy guidance for Fisheries and Oceans staff within the Quatsino Coastal Management Area. Letter from the Regional Director General of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Acknowledgements The Quatsino Sound Coastal Plan was shaped by the advice and kind support of many individuals. Special thanks are extended to the Regional District of Mount Waddington for assisting the Ministry with public and technical input to the Plan, particularly the tireless efforts of Annemarie Koch, and Bill Shephard. The Plan could not have been successfully prepared without the participation of the Quatsino First Nation, particularly Chief Tom Nelson, and the planning staff, including Patrick Charlie, Leonard Williams and Aaron Wiliams. The input of Band Council consultants Robin Chatan and Dave Schmidt is also appreciated. The Plan has benefited from hard work and insight of a plan advisory committee, comprised of the following local community members: Grant Anderson, Lionel Hole, Don Jones, Ron Johnston, Rob Knutson, Larry Pepper, Rod Sherrell, Florian Tovstigo, Darrell Volker, and Phil Wainwright (Chair). The Plan was developed collaboratively with, and was improved by the knowledge and expertise of the staff of DFO’s Central Coast Area office, in particular: Brenda McCorquodale, Steve Diggon, Gary Taccogna and Jen Kovecses Provincial and federal government staff made important contributions to the Plan. Thanks are extended to Bill Harrower and Scott Pilcher (MAFF), Duncan Williams, Keith Anderson, and Richard Brunning (LWBC), Scott Mitchell (MoF Port McNeill), Kris Kennett (WLAP), Michael Dunn, Krista Amey, and staff (Canadian Wildlife Service, Vancouver). The plan was prepared by Rob Paynter, John Bones, Chad Egan and Graham Winterbottom (CMPB, Victoria) with technical and mapping support from Rick Deegan, Simon Norris and Carol Ogborne (MSRM, Decision Support Services). Valuable consulting assistance was provided by Violet Kormori, Rupert Wong, Gary Robinson, Brian Woodman and Bruce Whyte.

FOR MAMMOTH GEOLOGICAL LTD. -z- SUMMARY The Renfrew Creek Property presently consists of 4 units, totaling 100 hectares. The property was staked as a potential source of white limestone for aggregates and industrial fillers. The property was briefly explored during staking. Previous exploration consisted of quarrying test blocks to test the suitability of the stone for marble dimension stone. The property is underlain by steeply dipping, thickly bedded, white to grey-white limestone of the Triassic Quatsino Formation. The stone outcrops as a distinct knob of + 400 metres by 400 metres on the west side of upper Renfrew Creek. A program of mapping, sampling and diamond drilling is recommended. Total cost is estimated at $150,000. The cost of the exploration program completed during staking is $900. Mammoth Geological Ltd.

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by mimeograph or other means, without the permission of the author. 11 Supervisor: Dr. D.V Ellis ABSTRACT Axinopsida serricata (Bivalvia) is abundant in coastal waters of British Columbia subjected to natural and anthropogenic disturbance. To investigate the monitoring potential of histological lesions, field populations were sampled in Holberg Inlet and Quatsino Sound, British Columbia, from benthic habitats affected by the submarine discharge of copper-mine tailings, and from a reference site in Mill Bay, Saanich Inlet. Based on a quantitative analysis of the digestive gland, ctenidia, kidney, gonad and stomach, the relationship between histological variation and site, size, season, sex and parasitism was explored. The relationship between occurrence of histological lesions in this species and further ecological consequences of mine- tailings discharge was also explored by comparing population characteristics of clams living in deposited tailings with clams from the reference site.

CIRCULAR NO.85 FEBRUARY 1968 ~ < SHRIMP EXPLORATION ON THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST 1967 BY M.S.SMITH AND T.H.BUTLER FISHERIES RESEARCH BOARD OF CANADA BIOLOGICAL STATION , NANAI MO B.C. CIRCULAR NO.85 FEBRUARY 1968 INTRODUCTION The Fisheries Research Board of Canada, with the aid of funds provided by the Industrial Development Service of the Department of Fisheries, con- f . tinued to carry out exploration for new shrimp grounds in 1967. Two observers ^ from the Biological Station at Nanaimo, British Columbia, were aboard a ^ . chartered vessel from July 4 to September 9, 1967. The objective of the survey was to find concentrations of shrimp on the outer continental shelf of British Columbia. The programme, consisted of studying areas considered to have commercial potential and re-assessing the potential of grounds found in past shrimp explorations. VESSEL AND EXTENT OF SURVEY The commercial trawler M.V. Ocean Traveller, under Captain Frank Gale, was chartered to carry out the programme. The vessel is a conventional wooden-hulled combination vessel of 80 gross tons (63 ft keel length) powered by a 220 hp diesel engine. Deck equipment included a hydraulic powered combination seine-trawl winch and a hydraulic net reel, conven tionally rigged for double gear trawling* Each winch drum carried approximately 400 fathoms of 9/16" galvanized wire. Auxiliary equipment included an Ekolite 9B sounder, radar, loran and radios. (This was the same captain and vessel that conducted the Industrial Development Service exploratory groundfish surveys in.1965 and 1966).
