  • Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
    MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'.

It was however never published at that time, and further research was done in September 2007, but practically none after that. It was prepared for publication here in November 2016, with very little added to the old manuscripts. It may therefore be out-of-date in some respects.

Two expeditions, one led by Captain Vancouver and the other led by Comandante Galiano, arrived at Kinghorn Island in Desolation Sound from the south on June 25, 1792. Their mission was to survey the mainland coast for a passage to the east—a northwest passage. At this stage of their work, they had no idea what lay before them as the insularity of Vancouver Island had yet to be established by Europeans. The following day, all four vessels moved up the Lewis Channel and found a better anchorage in the Teakerne Arm. For seventeen days, small-boat expeditions set out from this safe anchorage to explore the Homfray Channel, Toba Inlet, Pryce Channel, Bute Inlet, and the narrow passages leading westward through which the sea flowed back and forth with astounding velocity.

Ongoing projects for 20L8 include; o Citizen Science program o Satellite imagery program . Synchronicity between phytoplankton and zooplankton phenology program r Strategic Salmon Health lnitiative (SSHt) o HarmfulAlgal Bloom monitoring o Modeling programs o Predation studies The SSMSP has resulted in 23 accepted (21 published) manuscripts and many technical reports and affiliated publications. Later this fall PSF will report out on key findings to communities around the Strait of Georgia and discussions of potential priority legacy projects is underway. lf you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at the coordinates below.

  • Desolation Sound in Surfbird by Cameron D
    PLACES: Desolation Sound in Surfbird by Cameron D. Eckert “That looks like a storybook!” A dock- side onlooker hails as we sail our 16-foot wooden Wayfarer Surfbird into the har- bour at Powell River. And in many ways this trip has all the elements of a story- book with its secret coves, wild seas, beach cookouts, and an imaginative young crew ready for adventure. On July 18 my sons Nigel and Rory, aged 16 and 11, and I, launch Surfbird near Nanoose Bay on the east side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Our plan is to sail north to the Desolation Sound area, and then return to Nanaimo in about two weeks. This is a stunning landscape where richly forested moun- tains and a productive intertidal zone meet to create a fascinating and highly scenic coastal environment. The waters of the northern Strait of Georgia do not regularly mix with the cold Pacific and as a result are surprisingly warm. A complex shoreline along the east side of the strait, the Sunshine Coast, offers an abundance of sheltered anchorages. Our route will present some challenges, not the least of which will be crossing the Strait of Geor- gia twice—a relatively big piece of ocean for a small open boat. It turns out though that the shorter passages between small islands will also provide plenty of excite- ment. This area is known for strong tidal currents that will test our navigation skills and endurance, especially as we rely solely on sail and oar. And so with a 7-knot breeze from the south, and a flood tide to help us along, we set sail north up the Strait of Geor- gia towards the distant mass of Mount Shepard on Texada Island.
