  • Tatshenshini River Ten Year Monitoring Report Prepared
    Tatshenshini River Ten Year Monitoring Report Prepared for: Yukon Parks Department of Environment Government of Yukon Whitehorse, Yukon Prepared by: Bruce K. Downie PRP Parks: Research & Planning Whitehorse, Yukon Purpose of the Report The Tatshenshini River was designated as a Canadian Heritage River in 2004. The Canadian Heritage River System requires regular monitoring of the natural, heritage and recreational values underpinning each designation. This report presents the results of the ten year review of the river values and key elements of the management strategies for the Yukon portion of the Tatshenshini watershed. The report also points out which characteristics and qualities of the designated river have been maintained as well as the activities and management actions that have been implemented to ensure the continued integrity of the river’s values. And, finally, the report also highlights issues that require further attention in order to maintain the heritage values of the designation. On the basis of these findings, the report assesses the designation status of the Tatshenshini River within the Canadian Heritage River System. Acknowledgements Thanks are due to the those individuals consulted through this analysis and especially to the dedicated individuals in Yukon and First Nations governments who continue to work towards the protection of the natural and cultural values and the wilderness recreational opportunities of the Tatshenshini River. Appreciation is also extended to Parks Canada and the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board Secretariat for their assistance and financial support of this review.

    ASSESSING THE RISKOF BEAR-HUMANINTERACTION AT RIVERCAMPSITES A. GRANTMacHUTCHON, 237 CurtisRoad, Comox,BC V9M3W1, Canada, email: [email protected] DEBBIEW. WELLWOOD, P.O. Box 3217, Smithers,BC VOJ2N0, Canada,email: [email protected] Abstract: The Alsek and Tatshenshinirivers of Yukon, British Columbia, and Alaska, and the Babine River, British Columbia, are seasonally importantfor grizzly bears(Ursus arctos) and Americanblack bears(Ursus americanus). Recreationaltravelers on these rivers use riparianhabitats for camping, which could lead to bear-humaninteraction and conflict. During visits in late summer 1998-99, we used 4 qualitativeindicators to assess risk of bear-humaninteraction at river campsites: (1) seasonal habitatpotential, (2) travel concerns, (3) sensory concerns, and (4) bear sign. We then rated each campsite on a 5-class scale, relative to other campsites, for the potential to displace bears and the potential for bear-human encounters. We used these ratingsto recommendhuman use of campsites with relatively low risk.

The State also applied for lands underlying "all named interconnecting sloughs including Binkleys Slough, Red Slough, Guerin Slough, King Slough, Andrew Slough, Hooligan Slough, Shakes Slough, Shakes Lake, North Arm, and Ketili River, between the ordinary high water lines of the left and right banks .... " The State included with its application a legal description of the river, supporting evidence, and a map dated April 5, 2004 showing the Stikine River.l The State's submissions are more fully described in Attachment A. On June 4, 2007, the State submitted additional information in support of its application for the bed ofthe Stikine River. In this letter, the State asserted that the Tongass National Forest did not include the beds of navigable waters within the exterior boundaries of the reserve and, therefore, did not defeat the State's title to the bed ofthe navigable Stikine River.2 As the State's evidence shows, the Stikine River has been used almost continuously as a highway of commerce since before the Purchase of Alaska in 1867. Both Great Britain and the United States recognized the river's importance as a highway in the Washington Treaty of May 8, 1871.

GSI and PBT were applied to assessment of 2019 coho salmon fisheries northern and 22 central British Columbia (BC), Canada. The catch from northern freezer troll (Area F) and ice 23 boat troll (Area F), recreational catch in Statistical Areas 3/4, the lower Skeena River test fishery 24 at Tyee, and the Heiltsuk First Nation food, social, and ceremonial fishery near Bella Bella on 25 the central coast of BC were sampled. There were 1,223 individuals successfully genotyped 26 from fishery samples and 4 parentage-based tagging identifications made. The large majority of 27 the catch in the northern troll fishery was derived from northern and central coast Conservation 28 Units. 3 29 Introduction 30 Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) are caught in commercial, recreational, and First 31 Nations fisheries in British Columbia, and determination of the impact of these fisheries is of 32 fundamental importance to status assessment for wild populations and management of large- 33 scale hatchery production.
