PLACE STADIUM, VANCOUVER, B.C. February 7-11, 1990 CHS Participants Chart Distribution/Amendments Chart Production Sailing Dioections D. Fisher W.S. Crowther G. Richardson J. Yee J. Sadlish D. Jodrell The Chart Amendment Section designed the display for this event. The seven panels focused on how symbols and abbreviations used on CHS charts related to the terminology used in Chart 1 and to the actual features in the field. Each panel consisted of a nautical chart with lines running from specific chart symbols to corresponding Chart 1 excerpts and colour photographs taken of the highlighted feature. This was the final year that CHS will sell charts and publications at Boat Shows. A letter will be sent to Pacific Region Chart Dealers advising them of this decision and encouraging them to sell CHS products at the 1991 Boat Show. Personnel were given an information sheet (copy attached) prior to the opening of the show which advised them which new charts were scheduled for printing in 1990 and information on chart pricing and the availability of Sailing Directions. Sales totalled $9.2K which included 556 charts and 241 publications. 1990 Radio Aids and List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals were not in stock at the time of the show. Boat Show statistics are attached as Appendix 2. Public reaction to not selling charts - negative. C. H. S. VANCOUVER BOAT SHOW February 7 - 11, 1990 INFORMATION SHEET 1. 1990 Boat Show The following notice is to be posted at this show. "Please be advised that CHS will not have charts and publications available for purchase at future Boat Shows." The reason this action is being taken is because we have been advised to do so by the Dominion Hydrographer. A government agency selling items at a commercial show is seen as being in competition with the Private Sector. However, CHS will continue attending the Vancouver Boat Show with an information booth. 2. All requests for larger scale coverage and all suggestions can better be dealt with, if submitted in writing to either the Regional Chart Superintendent or the Regional Director, Hydrography at IOS. 3. Arrow Lakes - See scheme - Surveys complete - Results of surveys have not been received for chart production and not expected before the end of February - Every effort will be made to have two charts ready for mid/late July 1990 - The other two will follow in December 1990. 4. Pricing As of yet there has not been any indication of a price increase for 1990. However, we do anticipate price increases. 5. Requests for digital data and requests to copy CHS charts. These requests must be in writing to the Regional Director, Hydrography, stating the reason for requesting such data. 6. Cruising Atlas 3312 Desolation Sound & Jervis Inlet. Will not be reprinted until funds are acquired. Discussions are currently underway and a decision is not expected before June or July. 3313 "Dead in the Water" for two reasons. 1. No funds for printing 2. Content of atlas is under review regarding scale of coverage for some pages and the brevity of Sailing Directions. 2 -2 7. Spiller Channel - (Chart 3940) Will not be funded 1990/91. Production is therefore not planned until 1991/92 with availability in 1993. 8. Fish Egg Inlet Final stages of production. Will be available in September 1990. 9. Queries about small-scale coverage of Georgia vis-a-vis cancellation of 3579, 3594 and 3596. New Charts at similiar scales are being considered, but production would be 3 to 5 years away. Chart 3450 will not be reinstated. 10.

  • 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'.

They differ from Tech- nical Reports in terms of subject scope and potential audience: Manusciipt Reports deal primarily with national or regional problems and distribution is generally restrict- ed to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. No restriction is placed on subject matter and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, namely, fisheries management, technology and development, ocean sciences, and aquatic environments relevant to Canada. Manuscript Reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report will be abstracted by Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and will be indexed annually in the Department's index to scientific and technical publications.

  • Fjords! (Especially the Kitimat Fjord System)
    Bangarang February 2014 Backgrounder1 Fjords! (especially the Kitimat Fjord System) Eric Keen Abstract Fjords are awesome, and sometimes there are whales in them. This raises some questions: First of all, where do fjord babies come from? (Some Great Ice Cream Scoop in the Sky???) Why should we care about them? (Where to begin?) Where in the world do they happen? (A Goldilocks temperate zone and it’s perty too!) Why are British Columbia’s fjords the best? (If you’ve ever visited them you wouldn’t be asking such stupid questions.) What do you know about the fjords of the Gitga’at Territory and the Bangarang study area? (Ah, the Kitimat Fjord System! Where to begin?!) Contents Introduction Defined Worldwide British Columbia The Kitimat Fjord System Physical-Chemical Oceanography Freshwater Input Circulation Estuarine Wind-Driven Tidal Features Property Distribution Vertical Structure Horizontal Structure Seasonality Other Properties (pH, DO, nutrients) Deep & Bottom Waters Sediments Literature Cited 1 Bangarang Backgrounders are imperfect but rigorous reviews – written in haste, not peer-reviewed – in an effort to organize and memorize the key information for every aspect of the project. They will be updated regularly as new learnin’ is incorporated. 1 Introduction Due to the complexity of their ecological space, coastal waters comprise some of the most diverse and productive marine habitats on earth (Levin & Dayton 2009). This high biodiversity is the cornerstone of lucrative fisheries, tourism industries, and innumerable ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, nursery habitat, food web support, carbon sequestration, and tourism revenue (Turner 2000). And yet, while the health of coastal waters is the most economically valuable and easily monitored of marine systems, they are also among the most endangered (Gray 1997).
