    Coastal Invasive Plant Management Strategy Prepared by Brian Wikeem, P.Ag. and Sandra Wikeem Solterra Resources Inc . June 30, 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The BC Agricultural Research and Development Corporation and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure are gratefully acknowledged for financial support for this project. In-kind support was also provided by the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, BC Ministry of Environment, and the BC Ministry of Forests and Range. The members of the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee board of directors including Becky Brown, Glenda Barr, Zak Henderson, Michele Jones, Rob Lawrence, Kate Miller, June Pretzer, Valentin Schaefer, and Ernie Sellentin are thanked for their contributions to this report. Lynn Atwood, past Program Coordinator, is thanked for providing unpublished reports that furnished background information. Jeff Hallworth and Melissa Noel are especially acknowledged for collecting material, reviewing drafts of the report, and overall support. Coastal Invasive Plant Management Strategy ___________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invasive plants have been a problem in Coastal British Columbia (BC) since earliest European settlement but little has been done to control these species until recently. The Coastal Invasive Plant Committee (CIPC) was formed in 2005 to service Vancouver Island and surrounding coastal communities. The committee consists of public and private sector groups, First Nations, industry, utilities, and conservation groups that share a common interest in promoting coordination and cooperation to manage invasive plants in the region. The CIPC area covers approximately 60,000 km 2 including Vancouver Island, mainland coast and Gulf Islands; and consists of eight regional districts, 34 municipalities, 15 Gulf Islands, and 57 First Nations.

  • 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'.

  • Bute Inlet Backgrounder
    BACKGROUNDER Watershed Watch Salmon Society February 5, 2009 THE BUTE INLET HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT 1 Q: Where will the proposed project take place? A: Bute Inlet is located on the south coast of British Columbia just north of Campbell River – about 250 km northwest of Vancouver. Q: What is planned for Bute Inlet by Plutonic Power? A: Plutonic Power, in partnership with Connecticut-based General Electric, wants to dam and divert 17 rivers that drain into Bute Inlet; more than a single project, the proposed development will see three distinct “clusters” of hydro projects, generating a total capacity of 1027 megawatts (MW). This network of many river diversions is being considered as a single project in the Province-led regulatory approvals process. Q: What makes this project unique compared to other proposed run-of-river projects? A: Plutonic’s Bute Inlet project is unprecedented in British Columbia in terms of sheer physical size, generating capacity, and environmental footprint: •The 1027 MW peak generating capacity of this single proposed development is greater than that of the massive Site C project planned for the Peace River – the difference being that Plutonic’s project would be less efficient and produce less energy than Site C, despite its colossal environmental footprint. •The project as proposed would require 443 km of new transmission line, 267 km of permanent roads, and 142 bridges, to be built in wilderness areas. Q: What is the regulatory process for approving the project? A: The Province of BC ultimately approves run-of-river projects. BC Hydro is responsible for issuing electricity purchase agreements which guarantee the public will buy the power generated by the project.

The mobile hydroacoustic study described in this report and the stationary hydroacoustic survey carried out by Biosonics Incorporated (Biosonics 2012) at the W.A.C. Bennett Dam spillway entrance had the goal to determine the species composition and abundance of fish that were entrained over the spillway during the 2012 spill. The mobile survey closely followed transects and fishing locations established as part of the 2008 Williston Fish Index Study (GMSMON-13, Sebastian et al.
