ROUNSEFELL and GEORGE B. KELEZ The decrease in abundance of sockeye salmon in the waters of Swiftsure Bank, Puget Sound, and the Gulf of Georgia has been readily apparent, but no previous attempt has been made to measure accurately this change, nor has the decline of other species been previously demonstrated. The studies included in this report on the seasonal occurrence of each species, and the history and development of each form of gear, were necessary in arriving at logical conclusions as to the causes and extent of the changes in abundance that have occurred. The interrelations of the various species of salmon and the different types of gear in this region are such that the problem cannot be understood unless all of these factors are considered. Not since the general report in 1899, entitled itA Review of the Fisheries in the Contiguous SALMON AND SALMON FISHERIES OF SWIFTSURE BANK 695 Waters of the State of Washington and British Columbia," by Richard Rathbun, has this region been considered as an entity. The region is of considerable extent, including that portion of the high seas in the vicinity of Swiftsure Bank, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the narrow inland sea, over 200 miles in length, formed by Puget Sound and the Gulf of Georgia (see fig. 1). Of the numerous tributary streams, only the Fraser River penetrates the Coast Range into the interior. Many shorter rivers, however, such as the Skagit, Snohomish, and Squamish on the mainland, and the Cowichan and Nanaimo Rivers on Vancouver Island, together with a host of smaller streams, also furnish spawning grounds for the salmon of these waters. THE PACIFIC SALMONS The Pacific salmons (genus Oncorhynchus) inhabiting this region, like the At­ lantic salmon (Salmo saZar) and the steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri), spend varying lengths of time in fresh water after hatching, before descending to the sea where most of their growth is attained. They differ from the Atlantic salmon and the steelhead in that all of the adults, upon returning to fresh water, die shortly after spawning. The adult salmon, returning from the ocean to spawn in the streams from whence they came, form the object of intensive fisheries on Swiftsure Bank, among the inlets and islands of Puget Sound, the Gulf of Georgia, and in the estuary and lower reaches of the Fraser River. This region has five species of Pacific salmon: The sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka), known as the red salmon in Alaska and as the blueback on the Skagit, Quinault, and Columbia Rivers; the coho or silver salmon (0. kisutch), also known as the silverside; the king or spring salmon (0. tschawytscha), known as the chinook on the Columbia. River and the quinnat on the Sacramento River; the pink or humpback salmon (0. gorbuscha); and the chum or dog salmon (0. keta), also called keta or fall salmon. In addition to the confusing array of names given above, the immature king salmon are often called blackmouth, a term which is also sometimes applied to immature cohos. In the Gulf of Georgia the immature cohos taken early in their third summer are termed bluebacks. In size the pinks are the smallest, averaging around 4 pounds. The sockeyes average under 6 pounds, the cohos about 7-8 pounds, and the chums about 9 pounds. The kings are by far the largest, averaging about 22 pounds, with occasional indi­ viduals of 60 pounds and upwards. The pink salmon are unique in that they appear in abundance over the greater part of this region during the odd-numbered years, whereas only a few thousand are taken in the even-numbered years. FISHING DISTRICTS The region may be roughly divided into fishing districts, not only geographically, but also in accordance with the types of gear used and the abundance of the various species.

  • Tourism Pemberton Strategic Plan – 2021 - 2023
    Tourism Pemberton Strategic Plan – 2021 - 2023 Executive Summary Tourism Pemberton is committed to fostering sustainable, responsible tourism that benefits the residents of the Village of Pemberton and Area C of the Squamish Lillooet Regional District (SLRD). Through effective management of available resources, Tourism Pemberton is committed to delivering measurable results in three strategic areas: #1 - Effective Destination Marketing Invest in marketing campaigins to grow shoulder season visitation to those visitor experiences having capacity for growth #2 - Strong Relationships and Partnerships Build relationships and partnerships to leverage marketing investments, enhance the destination experience and maximize ROI #3 - Responsible Destination Management Together with various partners, invest in infrastructure and its maintenance to benefit visitors and residents and create remarkable experiences for all Each of these three strategic areas is described more fully below: Destination Marketing Tourism Pemberton will invest in targeted marketing campaigns and events that promote reasons to visit outside of peak season when the accommodation sector has low occupancies and infrastructure and visitor experiences have unused and available capacity. In this way, Tourism Pemberton will contribute to reducing the peaks and valleys that business operators currently experience and will foster economic resilience and community sustainability. Prepared By: Cadence Strategies, October 2020 www.cadencestrategies.com 1 Tourism Pemberton’s focus will be on shoulder season experiences including: Spring/fall touring Spring/fall/winter weddings Spring/fall corporate groups seeking unique activities Spring/fall mountain biking Winter snowmobiling Winter backcountry touring Pemberton and Area C accommodation as an alternative to Whistler for downhill skiing enthusiasts Relationships and Partnerships Tourism Pemberton recognizes that there is much to be gained by working in mutually beneficial partnerships.
