We believe this is a useful reference tool, providing a summary of the numerous community-based projects and activities that partner with the Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Program. The future of our world depends upon educating children and young adults. The Stream to Sea education program is strongly supported throughout Pacific Region, with involvement of over 25 part and full-time Education Coordinators, 18 Community Advisors and many educational professionals and volunteers supporting the program. The Stream to Sea program combines ecosystem and aquatic species education and lessons on marine and freshwater habitat to create a stewardship ethic. The ultimate goal is to have students become aquatic stewards, caring for the environment around them.

The Community Advisors Learning about sockeye at Adams River. Photo: Jeremy Heighton dedicate their mission statement to the volunteers and community projects: “Fostering cooperative fisheries and watershed stewardship through education and involvement”. Our Community Advisors work alongside the stewardship community, building partnerships within the community. From assisting with mini hatchery programs and policy implementation to taking an active role in watershed planning, these staff members are the public face of DFO. New Community Advisors have joined the team this year, with Sonora Butterfield acting in the Victoria area, Laurent Frisson assisting volunteers in Port Hardy, and Cindy Harlow in Howe Sound/Sunshine Coast. The e-mail addresses for all DFO staff have changed this year as well, the format is now [email protected] Many thanks to the thousands of committed Community Involvement volunteers who continue to inspire us with their hard work and dedication to the cause.

This Directory lists the Fisheries and Oceans Canada community involvement staff and the projects they support. It covers the Pacific Region, which includes British Columbia and the Yukon. The Pacific Region is divided into five areas, each led by an Area Manager. Each area supports community projects through a team of Community Advisors and Education Coordinators.

Co m m u n i t y Ad v i s o r s

Community Advisors (CAs) are the key liaisons between DFO and community-based projects. Following each CA listing is a list of projects Environmentalist/educator Jim Taylor of Mission, with the “e-team.” supported by that CA.

Generally, there are four types of projects.

• Community Economic Development Program (CEDP) projects are operated under contract by First Nations or community groups.

• Public Involvement Program projects are operated by volunteers or by community organizations. Approximately 10,000 volunteers participate in 350 community projects.

• Streamkeepers projects focus on protection, preservation, monitoring and rehabilitation of streams, rivers, wetlands and watersheds.

Ed u cat i o n Co o r d i n at o r s

Education Coordinators (ECs) support DFO’s numerous K-12 Stream to Sea initiatives. ECs are available for inservice teacher training, technical program support, or classroom and field instruction.

Qu e e n Cha r l o t t e Is l a n d s /Ha i d a Gw a i i “There is a saying, ‘time flies when you are having fun’. All I can say is WOW has it ever! Life on the islands can be a challenge, what with the remoteness, the weather and the difficulty of sometimes being off the radar. For local community groups and volunteers involved in salmon enhancement and habitat restoration it is doubly true, but it’s those same people that have made time fly by being so much fun to work with and so dedicated, regardless of the difficulties to rebuilding the local salmon stocks and their habitats. The last few years have shown a marked decrease in our returning salmon stocks and without the hard work of the local community groups and volunteers and the Community Involvement Program technical staff, I know the salmon returns would be even more depressed. A lot of work has been done over the years. But there is still much more to do, made more difficult with the continued erosion of funding available to groups or individuals who want to make a difference in their watersheds. My heartfelt thanks to you all for continuing the battle and keep up the good work!” – Christina Engel, CA

No r t h e r n In t e r i o r & No r t h Co a s t “The North Coast region is truly fortunate because of its gorgeous surroundings, its scope of habitats and its wonderful volunteers that I have the privilege of working with. There are countless people who unfailingly give their time and energy to a wide variety of projects in habitat enhancement and restoration, stock production, assessment, stewardship and education. I highly value their dedication to a resource that we share a passion for and commitment to. I’d like to thank them for their ongoing effort. Salmon and their streams are but a small part of the bigger picture we call the planet’s “environment.” If we can continue to work together as a team within our own communities to enhance and protect what so many take for granted, then we will have been successful. That is our continuing goal.” – Rob Dams, CA

Up p e r Sk e e n a “As our communities continue to grow, the impacts to our local salmon-bearing streams increase. Education about human impacts with examples of local effects on fish and fish habitat continue to be an important component of the Salmonids in the Classroom sessions. Streamkeepers have been very busy monitoring the progress of a proposed landfill site expansion and of railway line herbicide spraying in the New Hazelton area. The CEDP hatcheries continue to release coho and chinook juveniles and collect stock assessment data. Marking programs at Fort Babine Hatchery have been dropped. However, coho at the Toboggan Creek Hatchery are still being tagged.” – Brenda Donas, CA

Ca p e Ca u t i o n t o Caa m a n o So u n d , e a s t t o Ta t l a La k e “Two highlights during the last year came with help from the Pacific Salmon Commission Northern Fund. McLoughlin Hatchery in Bella Bella received funding for modest upgrades to double their chum smolt release from one million to two million. The Johnston Creek coho project in was supported so a coded-wire tag group can be tracked through migration, interception in the various fisheries and return. Of course, none of this would have happened without people stepping up to the plate and the staff of McLoughlin Hatchery, Snootli Hatchery and members of the Rivers Inlet North Coast Salmon Enhancement Association (and their pocket books!) are to be commended for “fielding” first class teams that can boast very successful seasons to date! In Klemtu, Kitasoo Hatchery staff have an agreement with the Co-management Program to supply fish culture expertise to the Victor Creek sockeye facility through the winter and spring/summer rearing programs. This is welcome news for both the staff and the sockeye! Speaking of sockeye, the Heiltsuk Fisheries program Emily Hatchery project crew enjoyed seeing so many Tankeeah River 2003 brood adipose-marked adults return in 2007 and 2008 and are hoping to add incubation capacity in 2009 to increase fry production. In a year when sockeye food fish were harder to come by the harvest opportunity at Tankeeah was much appreciated. On the local coho front, the Central Coast Fisherman’s Protection Association (CCFPA)/Snootli Hatchery coho initiative is ongoing and as this goes to press impressive numbers of 2005 brood marked fish returns are coming in – welcome in a year with poor returns overall. The Rivers & Smith Inlet Salmon Ecosystem Planning Society (Rivers Partner Group) continues to be active and is now looking at conservation units and targets for fisheries management. The Bella Coola Watershed Conservation Society has been involved in a watershed ortho-photo/mapping project and will collaborate with other partners to secure the maps so essential to planning. The Stream to Sea program and classroom incubator project continue to be favourites in the schools with support from the CCFPA and project crews in Bella Bella and Klemtu.” – Sandie MacLaurin, CA

No r t h e r n Va n c o u v e r Is l a n d a n d surrounding m a i n l a n d i n l e t s “The North Island stewardship groups are again showing the way with projects such as the new Quatse Hatchery Interpretive Centre. Built in 2008/09 by the Northern Vancouver Island Salmon Enhancement Association, it has research labs, a community classroom and a salmon interpretive centre. Be sure to visit it on your next trip to Port Hardy. The high level of dedication is also apparent within all the salmon enhancement groups, be it locally or at more remote sites such as Scott Cove or Warner Bay. North Island also sustains a high degree of marine mammal monitoring and offers public education through stewardship programs. Every year the North Island education coordinator Jackie Hildering delivers an incredible aquatic education program to many local schools. Some of her subjects, based on the Stream to Sea program, include Salmonids in the Classroom, Junior Beach Studies, Marine Mammal Science, “The Cost of Cool”, and many more. See the list of stewardship groups in your area; join one of them or start your own. Make a difference, be involved in your community. To all volunteers I wish continued success.” – Laurent Frisson, CA

Many stewardship and enhancement groups are now working with industries, developers and local governments to protect fish habitat in their watersheds. A unique feature of the east coast of Vancouver Island is that most of the land is privately owned, which creates challenges for protecting fish habitat, but many groups have had major successes recently. Reduced government involvement and funding for stewardship and enhancement programs has meant that volunteer groups have had to work extra hard to take up the slack. The level of volunteer dedication and involvement is truly impressive and all volunteers deserve a huge amount of credit.” – Dave Davies, CA

In addition to the core public involvement programs (enhancement, stream protection, habitat advocacy, education), all the ecologically-based groups participate in the Streamkeepers Program, as well as local water and land-use planning issues, habitat restoration, mapping, salmonid assessments, community awareness, youth education and activities, fund-raising, oceans stewardship activities and habitat protection. We now have an Oceans Stewardship Shoreline Preservation Society and a new Wetlandkeepers group in West Vancouver. The Squamish stewards have engaged in herring, eel-grass and related habitat restoration. We have three active First Nations communities at Mt. Currie, Squamish First Nations, & N’Qua’qua, and a progressive Squamish – Lillooet Sportfishing Advisory Group. We enjoy excellent cooperation from Tenderfoot and Capilano Hatcheries, and much help from our Lower Fraser OHEB restoration team, biologist Matt Foy and engineer Harold Beardmore. Our volunteer groups greatly appreciate the work, assistance, support and cooperation from DFO Conservation and Protection, and our provincial colleagues at the Ministry of Environment including field biologist Rob Knight, bear specialist Steve Rochetta, and the conservation officers. We also work regularly with private contracting education services, in organizing oceans, estuary, wetland, watershed and streamkeeper educational field trips for students & adults.” – Rob Bell-Irving, CA

“As the maturity and experience of many of the salmon enhancement, streamkeeper and watershed stewardship volunteers increase, so too does the complexity of circumstances they are involved with. Relationships with staff of regional, municipal, provincial and federal governments and from the corporate sector are ever expanding as are the pressures to develop in urban environments. It is hard to imagine the outcome for the environment in many circumstances were it not for the incredible dedication of the many volunteer resource stewards involved.” – Maurice Coulter-Boisvert, CA

This has renewed the spirits of many volunteers and they have increased their energy and dedication to preserving habitat and rebuilding the stocks even further. Each day I find it encouraging to work with volunteers whose insight, commitment and hard work help preserve a resource we all love and in which we have a common share.” – Joe Kambeitz, CA

Thanks to the Fraser Salmon and Watershed Program, we have seen the formation of the Horsefly River Roundtable; the development of a unique partnership with the Baker Creek Enhancement Society to develop and deliver Social Marketing and Behavior Change workshops and focus groups; and increased financial support for many of our stewardship groups’ projects. The Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society now delivers a ‘Water Wise’ program that promotes the wise use of water across our community. The Scout Island Nature Centre continues to deliver nature education activities to young and old and has worked cooperatively with the Research Centre (UNBC) and area high schools to develop a mentoring program for young adults interested in natural resources. Thanks go to the many folks who dedicate their time to protecting and enhancing the salmon resource – their efforts go a long way in maintaining our connection to the resource.” – Roy Argue and Tina Chestnut, CAs (job sharing)
