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.

  • Elkwater / Cypress Hills
    TRAIL 7 Elkwater/Cypress Hills The Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is unique to Southeastern Alberta as it is an area of relatively high altitude with the top of the hills being similar to Banff townsite (Elkwater is 1,234 metres in elevation). These hills are forested with a mixture of lodgepole pine, white spruce and aspen. The protrusion of these hills from the surrounding prairies can be a migrant trap. The montane vegetation also contains bird species that are typically found in the foothills and mountain areas of Alberta. A large number of vagrants have turned up in this park including such species as Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Red-headed Woodpecker, Clark’s Nutcracker and Summer Tanager. This park is also one of the very few locales in Alberta with nesting Common Poorwill. A population of Wild Turkey is resident in the park but their numbers seem to be diminishing, perhaps due to the ban on bird feeders. This ban was imposed due to the presence of cougars within the hills and is meant to discourage this animal from coming into the Elkwater townsite. In the past both Northern Goshawk and Broad-winged Hawk have nested in the hills. A number of hiking trails and roads wind throughout the park, which should be explored by any avid birder or nature lover. Roads are depicted on Map 7 but this map should be complemented with Alberta Parks trail and area maps. Each year a banding program is conducted in the park with the mist nets located near Site A. A visit to the banding station will give a good idea as to what is present in the park.

  • Western Grebe Surveys in Alberta 2016
    WESTERN GREBE SURVEYS IN ALBERTA 2016 The western grebe has been listed as a Threatened species in Alberta. A recent data compilation shows that there are approximately 250 lakes that have supported western grebes in Alberta. However, information for most lakes is poor and outdate d. Total counts on lakes are rare, breeding status is uncertain, and the location and extent of breeding habitat (emergent vegetation, usually bulrush) is usually unknown. We are seeking your help in gathering more information on western grebe populations in Alberta. If you visit any of the lakes listed below, or know anyone that does, we would appreciate as much detail as you can collect on the presence of western grebes and their habitat. Let us know in advance (if possible) if you are planning on going to any lakes, and when you do, e-mail details of your observations to [email protected]. SURVEY METHODS: Visit a lake between 1 May and 31 August with spotting scope or good binoculars. Surveys can be done from a boat, or vantage point(s) from shore. Report names of surveyors, dates, number of adults seen, and report on the approximate percentage of the lake area that this number represents. Record presence of young birds or nesting colonies, and provide any additional information on presence/location of likely breeding habitat, specific parts of the lake observed, observed threats to birds or habitat (boat traffic, shoreline clearing, pollution, etc.). Please report on findings even if no birds were seen. Lakes on the following page that are flagged with an asterisk (*) were not visited in 2015, and are priority for survey in 2016.

  • Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’S Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report
    Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’s Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Water Quality Section Outlet of Sauder Reservoir January 2018 Introduction and Summary The Government of Alberta (GOA) is committed to protecting the province against aquatic invasive species (AIS), due to their negative ecological and economic effects. Invasive zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) are of prominent concern, as these dreissenid mussels attach to any solid submerged surface and rapidly multiply due to their high reproductive rates. They are also very difficult to contain and eradicate once established. Additionally, they are spreading closer to Alberta’s borders. Alberta’s irrigation industry contributes $3.6 billion to the provincial gross domestic product (GDP). Specifically, it contributes about 20% of the provincial agri-food sector GDP on 4.7% of the province’s cultivated land base (Paterson Earth & Water Consulting 2015). Alberta’s irrigation industry includes thirteen irrigation districts that supply water to more than 570,000 ha of farmland through infrastructure valued at $3.6 billion. This infrastructure includes 57 irrigation reservoirs along with 3,491 km of canals and 4,102 km of pipelines (ARD 2014; AF 2017). The irrigation conveyance system provides water to irrigators, municipalities, industries, and wetlands, while the reservoirs support recreational activities such as boating and fishing and provide habitat to fish and waterfowl. Invasive mussels are a concern to the irrigation industry as infestations will have a significant negative effect on water infrastructure and conveyance works due to their ability to completely clog pipelines and damage raw-water treatment systems and intakes.
