Anselme Chiasson Directeur du Centre d'études acadiennes Compilée par Claude Guilbeault (Droits réservés) Centre d'études acadiennes Université de Moncton 1976 PRÉFACE Le Centre d'études acadiennes de l'Université de Moncton cherche à accumuler toute la documentation manuscrite ou imprimée qui concerne les Acadiens. Son but est aussi de faciliter la recherche aux chercheurs en mettant à leur disposition toute cette documentation et les instruments nécessaires à son accessibilité. Dans ce sens, le Centre publiait en 1975 un inventaire général des archives publiques ou semi-publiques concernant les Acadiens. L'accueil fait à ce volume par les historiens et les professeurs d'histoire indique clairement qu'il répondait à un besoin manifeste. Cet inventaire n'était que le premier d'une série de travaux que le Centre se proposait de rédiger. D'autres devaient suivre, tels une bibliographie acadienne, un dictionnaire généalogique, un inventaire des articles de revue, une brochure sur le folklore, etc.

    Status and Conservation of Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Eastern Canada Alan R. Hanson Atlantic Region 2004 Canadian Wildlife Service Environmental Conservation Branch Technical Report Series Number 412 TECHNICAL REPORT SERIES CANADIAN WILDLIFE SERVICE This series of reports, established in 1986, contains technical and scientific information from projects of the Canadian Wildlife Service. The reports are intended to make available material that either is of interest to a limited audience or is too extensive to be accommodated in scientific journals or in existing CWS series. Demand for these Technical Reports is usually confined to specialists in the fields concerned. Consequently, they are produced regionally and in small quantities; they can be obtained only from the address given on the title page. However, they are numbered nationally. The recommended citation appears on the title page. Technical Reports are available in CWS libraries and are listed in the catalogue of the National Library of Canada in scientific libraries across Canada. They are printed in the official language chosen by the author to meet the language preference of the likely audience, with a résumé in the second official language. To determine whether there is significant demand for making the reports available in the second official language, CWS invites users to specify their official language preference. Requests for Technical Reports in the second official language should be sent to the address on the title page.

  • ATLANTIC SALMON INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN 2008-2012 GULF REGION Adult
    ATLANTIC SALMON INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN 2008-2012 GULF REGION Adult Smolt Spawning Eggs Parr Eyed Eggs Fry Alevin Did you know that… • Salmon eggs are spawned in freshwater during the fall, incubate during the winter, and hatch in the spring. • Eggs hatch as fry and develop into parr over their first 2-4 years of life in freshwater. • Parr develop into smolts which leave their freshwater environment in the spring and migrate to the ocean. • Smolts that grow in the ocean for 1 year before they return to their native rivers to spawn are called grilse but smolts that grow in the ocean for 2 or more years before returning to spawn are called salmon. • After spawning in the fall, salmon and grilse are called kelts or black salmons and remain in rivers under the cover of ice until spring at which time they return to the ocean environment. • Salmon and grilse can spawn multiple times during their life. ATLANTIC SALMON INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN GULF REGION PLAN OVERVIEW The future well-being of the Atlantic salmon resource depends upon all parties working together through an integrated approach and in a harmonized manner. The Atlantic Salmon Integrated Management Plan for the Gulf Region is a five-year plan designed to engage the parties interested in the sustainable and orderly management of Atlantic salmon. It aim at strengthening their participation and to improve communications towards this endeavour. Engagement of the public and its community representatives should lead to better predictability and transparency in the decision making process. It is also meant to be an umbrella plan that allows for an adaptive and inclusive management approach based on the stakeholders' capacity.

  • EIA Final Report (PDF)
    YB299A ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR MODIFICATIONS TO THE PETITCODIAC RIVER CAUSEWAY Submitted to: New Brunswick Department of Supply and Services Fredericton, New Brunswick Submitted by: AMEC Earth & Environmental, A Division of AMEC Americas Limited Fredericton, New Brunswick September 30, 2005 TE23520.4 NB Department of Supply and Services EIA Report Modifications to the Petitcodiac River Causeway September 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background This document is the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report for the Modifications to the Petitcodiac River Causeway Project. The Petitcodiac River causeway (“causeway”) is a gated dam structure with an installed vertical slot fishway that was built across the Petitcodiac River between the City of Moncton and the Town of Riverview. Figure 1 shows the location of the Petitcodiac River and Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the causeway. Completed in 1968, the causeway was intended to create a second transportation link between the two communities, offer flood protection for farmland between the causeway and the head of tide at Salisbury, and create a freshwater headpond with potential for recreation and as an industrial water source. A bridge would have achieved the transportation objective, but not the other benefits. As early as 1961, it was recognized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (“DFO”) that fish passage would be an issue if a causeway was built across the Petitcodiac River. Consequently, DFO required that a fishway be included in the structure. However, the construction of the causeway with the fishway resulted in fish passage issues from the outset. The fishway proved ineffective for all fish species that require passage for life cycle purposes, including the Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon that is now also protected under the Species at Risk Act because of declining numbers.

Si does not occur naturally in its pure state but instead is found chiefly in mineral form as either silica (SiO2) or silicates. Silica Silica deposits occur, and are mined, in most and/or silicate minerals are a constituent of nearly every rock type in countries. Global silica output is estimated at Earth's crust. roughly 120 Mt to 150 Mt per year (Dumont 2006). The most familiar silica mineral is quartz. In commodity terms, silica About 5.9 Mt of ferrosilicon were produced also refers to geological deposits enriched in quartz and/or other silica worldwide in 2006. The major contributors were minerals. Silica resources include 1) poorly consolidated quartzose China, Russia, United States, Brazil and South sand and gravel, 2) quartz sand/pebbles in consolidated rock (e.g. Africa (U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] 2006). quartzose sandstone), 3) quartzite , and 4) quartz veins. Global production of silicon metal reportedly Uses approached 1.2 Mt in 2006, almost half of which came from China (USGS 2006). Other important Silica is hard, chemically inert, has a high melting point, and functions producers are the United States, Brazil, Norway, as a semiconductor—characteristics that give it many industrial France, Russia, South Africa and Australia. applications. Silica deposits generally must be processed to remove iron, clay and other impurities.
