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.

  • Structural Control of the Morphometry of Open Rock Basins, Kananaskis Region, Canadian Rocky Mountains
    5" %~ '.5" :7~, 6[mU ELSEVIER Geomorphology 22 (1998) 313-324 Structural control of the morphometry of open rock basins, Kananaskis region, Canadian Rocky Mountains D.J. Sauchyn a,*, D.M. Cruden b, X.Q. Hu c,1 a Department of Geography, University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan $4S OA2, Canada b Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2G7, Canada c Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3, Canada Received 12 September 1996; revised 18 July 1997; accepted 14 August 1997 Abstract The morphometry of chutes (couloirs), rock funnels, and open cirques are related to the structure of dissected rock masses in the Kananaslds region of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Data for ten morphometric variables were derived from digital elevation models of 56 open rock basins. The basins were classified structurally according to the relative orientations of bedding planes and the rock slopes. A hypothesis of no differences in morphometry among structural classes is rejected from the results of nonparametric analysis of variance and paired comparisons of rank scores. Basins on dip and overdip slopes have a distinct :size, and those on anaclinal slopes have a distinct width and shape. Variation in morphometry from low compactness and area/relief (chutes) to high compactness and low area/relief (funnels) to high compactness and area/relief (open cirques) corresponds to a change in dominant structure from orthoclinal to dip-overdip to underdip to anaclinal. The dip of bedding planes relative to the slope of rockwalls controls the mode of initial displacement of joint blocks and, thereby, the spatial distribution of the retreat of rockwalls.

    ild ands dvocate W L A AWA The Alberta Wilderness Association Journal December 2001 • Vol. 9, No. 6 http://AlbertaWilderness.ca [email protected] WATERSHEDS ARE SOURCE OF CONCERN AS PROVINCE LAUNCHES NEW WATER STRATEGY By Andy Marshall Plans for a new, province-wide water strategy are flowing through government departments, a move which, according to officials, confirms Alberta's strong support for water quality. But, conservation groups, such as the Alberta Wilderness Association, committed next year to focusing broader public attention on what they believe to be the declining health of the province's critical mountain and foothills watersheds, have dampened enthusiasm for the government initiative unless it leads to much stricter protective measures. Along with climate change issues, water and watersheds are the top priorities for Alberta Environment Minister Lorne Taylor, says a department spokeswoman, Anne McInerney. Taylor promises an active public consultation process in 2002 for the multi-department strategy initiative. "It's all about co-operation, striking a balance," she says. "We have to address all the challenges." Those challenges are described as ensuring: Safe, secure drinking water for all Albertans. Reliable supplies for economic development. Healthy rivers and lakes. Pharis R.P. Risk-management plans for drought and floods. North Ram River "The first step must be to protect watersheds. Make that the priority," says AWA director Vivian Pharis, helping lead the watershed campaign. Then, it is vital to understand INSIDE better what is happening to watersheds and water quality. What discourages her and other conservation leaders is their view the government Living or Dead? Choosing wildlife places heavier weighting on industrial/commercial interests and encourages these interests economies ..................................4 to extract what they can, particularly from the sensitive Eastern Slopes region.
