As guided by the Islands Trust Act, the Islands Trust Chair appoints local trust committee chairs from the four members of the Executive Committee. The appointed chairs will now join two local trustees, elected during October’s general local elections, to form the local trust committee for each group of islands designated as a local trust area. Local trust committees are responsible for land use planning and regulation for their respective area of jurisdiction (see below map). Their responsibilities include preparation and adoption of official community plans, land use bylaws, zoning and subdivision bylaws, regulation of soil removal and deposit, and authorization of permits under Part 14 of the Local Government Act.

  • Bald Eagles Wintering in the Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia
    BALD EAGLES WINTERING IN THE SOUTHERN GULF ISLANDS, BRITISH COLUMBIA DAVID HANCOCK HIS study represents the first attempt to census regularly the wintering T Bald Eagles Haliaeetus Zeucocephdus in the southern Gulf Islands, Brit- ish Columbia. Data were also collected on the feeding and hunting habits of the wintering eagles. In 1961 the National Audubon Society initiated its 5-year Continental Bald Eagle Study. This North American survey was prompted largely by the alarming decrease in numbers of the eastern Bald Eagle in recent years. The studies of Broley (1947)) Howell (1962)) and others have amply pointed out the plight of this great bird in the eastern United States. More recently Southern (1963) conducted a survey of the Bald Eagles winter- ing along the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois. No similar studies have been conducted on the west coast prior to the Continental Bald Eagle project, or to my study. Murie (1940 and 1959) described the food habits of the eagles of the Aleutian Islands, and Dixon (1909) gives a brief history of the Alaskan birds. Brooks (1922) and Munro (1938) p resented a few of their observations on the feeding and hunting habits of Bald Eagles in British Columbia. Less important notes on individual sightings, nestings, and feeding incidents complete the literature on this species on the west coast. METHOD Fifteen aerial counts, involving 24 hours and 15 minutes of flying time, were conducted over the area (Fig. 1) from 26 September 1962 to IS April 1963. In addition, 130 hours were spent on ground observations. The study area (shown in Fig.
