A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

  • Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta
    Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Submitted to: Submitted by: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Steering Committee a Division of AMEC Americas Limited Lethbridge, Alberta Lethbridge, Alberta 2014 amec.com WATER STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER BASIN IN ALBERTA Submitted to: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Lethbridge, Alberta Submitted by: AMEC Environment & Infrastructure Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 CW2154 SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 Executive Summary Water supply in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) in Alberta is naturally subject to highly variable flows. Capture and controlled release of surface water runoff is critical in the management of the available water supply. In addition to supply constraints, expanding population, accelerating economic growth and climate change impacts add additional challenges to managing our limited water supply. The South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009) identified re-management of existing reservoirs and the development of additional water storage sites as potential solutions to reduce the risk of water shortages for junior license holders and the aquatic environment. Modelling done as part of that study indicated that surplus water may be available and storage development may reduce deficits. This study is a follow up on the major conclusions of the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009). It addresses the provincial Water for Life goal of “reliable, quality water supplies for a sustainable economy” while respecting interprovincial and international apportionment agreements and other legislative requirements.

Beaudoin, Milt Wright and Brian Ronaghan Archaeological Survey, Provincial Museum of Alberta, 12845-102nd Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N OM6, Canada Multidisciplinary research programs conducted within the Alberta portion of the 'Ice-Free Corridor' since 1986 as part of the Archaeological Survey's 'First Albertans' project have used studies of palaeogeography and palaeoenvironments to formulate archaeological search strategies. This approach has resulted in the discovery of two new important sites -- Saskatoon Mountain (GhQt-4) and the James Pass Meadow Complex (EkPu-3 to 9) -- that are yielding information on terminal Late Wisconsinan/Early Holocene human occupation of the corridor. Both sites are dated by AMS or conventional radiocarbon dates to the millennium 10,000-9,000 BP. In the fifteen years since the 1978 AMQUA Conference on the Corridor, other researchers have identified four additional significant Paleo-lndian sites in this region. So far, none confirm human occupation of the 'Ice-Free Corridor' region before about 11,000 BP.

The presence of blue-green algae in recreational water causes unpleasant aesthetics. Exposure to some toxin-producing blue-green algae may pose potential health risks to public. There have been increased public awareness and health concerns as a result of increased research over the past 20 years, recent monitoring efforts, as well as the general public becoming educated on the matter. In 2010 and 2011, Alberta Health Services initiated a cyanobacteria monitoring program for shallow water adjacent to beaches and issued public health advisories based on visual inspection. The findings revealed that microcystins (MCYSTs), one group of toxins produced by cyanobacteria, dominate in Alberta’s lakes and reservoirs. In order to inform the residents to safely use public beaches and implement better public health management, Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services along with other governmental departments and public health laboratories conducted the program of Alberta Cyanobacteria Beach Monitoring for Public Health in 2012 and 2013. The objectives of this program are to : 1. establish and maintain an integrated, participatory process for responding to and managing public health issues relating to harmful blue-green algae blooms, 2.
