Gulf Islands and Saanich Inlet hides a trove of natural treasures and unique features. Just two examples INTERESTING The Strait of Georgia is 220 km (135 miles) long, its narrowest spot is 25 km (15 miles) wide, and its deepest point is 463 m (1,519 ft) below the surface – INFO that’s equivalent to a 138-storey building! The Strait of Georgia is sometimes incorrectly called the “Gulf of Georgia” as per Captain George Vancouver’s naming in 1792 – hence the name for the Gulf Islands. The Strait of Georgia inspired the name of Vancouver’s alternative newspaper, The Georgia Straight that was first published in 1967. 1 • PROPOSED SOUTHERN STRAIT OF GEORGIA NATIONAL MARINE CONSERVATION AREA RESERVE ATLAS • Supplemental Information Article References • http://www.vancouverprofile.com/aboutvancouver/content.php/id/2229 • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Islands • http://www.georgiastrait.org/?q=node/44 Map Metadata CORE STUDY AREA Parks Canada, March 1999.

Islands Trust produced a map that represented their zones under 6 consolidated categories. Parks Canada extended this categorization scheme to the surrounding regional districts and municipalities. Where specialized marine zoning does not exist, the terrestrial zoning was extended over the water to the limit of the jurisdiction.

  • Spring Bloom in the Central Strait of Georgia: Interactions of River Discharge, Winds and Grazing

Harrisonl, Robert H. Goldblattl, Richard J. Beamish2 'Department of Oceanography, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 124 'pacific Biological Station, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada V9R 5K6 ABSTRACT: A 3 wk cruise was conducted to investigate how the dynamics of nutrients and plankton biomass and production are coupled with the Fraser River discharge and a wind event in the Strait of Georgia estuary (B.C.,Canada). The spring bloom was underway in late March and early Apnl, 1991. in the Strait of Georgia estuary. The magnitude of the bloom was greater near the river mouth, indicat- ing an earher onset of the spring bloom there. A week-long wind event (wind speed >4 m S-') occurred during April 3-10 The spring bloom was interrupted, with phytoplankton biomass and production being reduced and No3 in the surface mixing layer increasing at the end of the wind event. Five days after the lvind event (on April 15),NO3 concentrations were lower than they had been at the end of the wind event, Indicating a utilization of NO3 during April 10-14. However, the utilized NO3 did not show up in phytoplankton blomass and production, which were lower than they had been at the end (April 9) of the wind event. During the next 4 d, April 15-18, phytoplankton biomass and production gradu- ally increased, and No3 concentrations in the water column decreased slowly, indicating a slow re- covery of the spring bloom Zooplankton data indicated that grazing pressure had prevented rapid accumulation of phytoplankton biomass and rapid utilization of NO3 after the wind event and during these 4 d.

Material relating to any of the following items is available on request from Metro Vancouver. For more information, please contact [email protected] or [email protected] Metro Vancouver Regional District E 1.1 Greater Vancouver Regional Fund Semi-Annual Report as of December 31, 2018 RECEIVED The Board received for information TransLink’s status report on active projects funded by federal gas tax funds through the Greater Vancouver Regional Fund. As per TransLink’s report, the regional transportation authority has been successful in delivering the majority of the projects on or ahead of schedule and incurring positive cost variances. Six projects are noted as experiencing delays exceeding three months: the Metrotown trolley overhead rectifier replacement, three conventional bus replacement projects, equipment for deferred bus retirement program, and the battery electric bus pilot. Looking ahead over the next 9 years, TransLink expects to draw on $1.5 billion in GVRF funds to pay for eligible capital expenditures associated with the 2018 Phase Two Investment Plan and subsequent investment plans. Assuming the renewal of the federal gas tax transfers in 2024, the forecasted balance in 2027 will be drawn down to a balance of approximately $181 million. E 1.2 Board Voting Technology RECEIVED The Board received for information an update on a technology solution to automate the Board’s voting process. In-house staff expertise was leveraged to develop a software solution to meet the unique voting requirements of the Metro Vancouver Board, notably the multiple jurisdictions and the weighting voting aspect.

    THE CHAETOGNATHS OP WESTERN CANADIAN COASTAL WATERS by HELEN ELIZABETH LEA A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OP THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of ZOOLOGY We accept this thesis as conforming to the standard required from candidates for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Members of the Department of Zoology THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October, 1954 ABSTRACT A study of the chaetognath population in the waters of western Canada was undertaken to discover what species were pre• sent and to determine their distribution. The plankton samples examined were collected by the Institute of Oceanography of the University of British Columbia in the summers of 1953 and 1954 from eleven representative areas along the entire coastline of western Canada. It was hoped that the distribution study would correlate with fundamental oceanographic data, and that the pre• sence or absence of a given species of chaetognath might prove to be an indicator of oceanographic conditions. Four species of chaetognaths, representing two genera, were found to be pre• sent. One species, Sagitta elegans. was the most abundant and widely distributed species, occurring at least in small numbers in all the areas sampled. It was characteristic of the mixed coastal waters over the continental shelf and of the inland waters. Enkrohnla hamata. an oceanic form, occurred in most regions in small numbers as an immigrant, and was abundant to- ward the edge of the continental shelf. Sagitta lyra. strictly a deep sea species, was found only in the open waters along the outer coasts, and a few specimens of Sagitta decipiens.
