    Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea

    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.

  • Recovery Plan for Grizzly Bears in the North Cascades of British Columbia

    Recovery Plan for Grizzly Bears in the North Cascades of British Columbia

    RECOVERY PLAN FOR GRIZZLY BEARS IN THE NORTH CASCADES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June 1, 2004 North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Team EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Cascades area contains one of the most imperiled grizzly bear populations in British Columbia with an estimate of fewer than 25 animals remaining in an area of 9 807 km2. This population has been designated as “Threatened” under the provincial Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy and is shared with Washington State where it is listed as “Threatened” under the United States’ federal Endangered Species Act. The primary factors that are believed to have caused the decline of the North Cascades grizzly bear population date back to the mid-19th century when there were high numbers of grizzly bears commercially trapped and destroyed through persecution and fear over potential conflicts. In the approximately 150 years since this population “bottleneck” the remnant population has not recovered. The recovery planning process has been initiated under the Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy to ensure that Threatened populations are not lost. Recovery plans are not land use plans. Existing or future approved strategic land use plans take precedence over recovery plans. Recovery plans are intended to be revised every five years based on any additional information available including the experience gained through Recovery Plan implementation. The goal of this Recovery Plan is to restore the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Population Unit to Viable status. The Recovery Plan includes the following objectives to achieve this goal: 1. Provide habitat of sufficient quantity and quality to support a Viable population. 2. Prevent population fragmentation and maintain genetic diversity.

    Okanagan Region Invasive Plant Strategy 2005

    OKANAGAN REGION INVASIVE PLANT STRATEGY 2005 MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP DIVISION Prepared By: Judy Millar, RPBio, Ecosystem Biologist Crystal Klym, Invasive Plant Program Technician EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Environment (MOE), Environmental Stewardship Division (ESD) is mandated to conserve biological diversity by reducing invasive plant populations to protect native plant communities and habitats. Invasive plants are typically introduced to British Columbia (BC) by humans from foreign countries or to ecosystems outside of their natural distributions. These introduced invasive plants lack natural predators and pathogens that would otherwise keep their populations in check. A common characteristic of all invasive plants is their aggressive, competitive behaviour. Once established, invasive plants have a tremendous capacity to invade adjacent, undisturbed natural plant communities, displace wildlife and disrupt natural ecosystem functions. The purpose of the Okanagan Region Invasive Plant Strategy is to address invasive plant management issues within Okanagan Region Provincial Parks, Protected Areas, Ecological Reserves and Conservation Lands (Nature Trust of BC Lease-Back Lands and Wildlife Management Areas) in a proactive manner. Strategic Goals selected to guide the Invasive Plant Program include: Partnerships and Coordination; Education and Public Awareness; Research; Prevention; Early Detection; Rapid Response; and Integrated Management. Priority invasive plant management areas identified using The Decision Tool to Prioritize Invasive Plant Program Projects. This decision tool assessed specific criteria1 and assigned points, based on selected values, to each area. Based on the total number of points awarded, the area was defined as a Priority 1 (101-155 points), a Priority 2 (51-100 points) or a Priority 3 (0-50 points).

The plan was developed by over 30 public and government participants representing a wide range of values such as water, timber, wildlife, fisheries, mining, recreation, tourism, conservation and agriculture. First Nations expressed an interest in the process but chose not to participate. They were kept informed about the process on an ongoing basis through a dedicated liaison position, as well as through the provision of meeting summaries and other LRMP material. The LRMP provides direction for the management of the Crown land and resources within the plan area. Through their recommendations package the participants clearly articulated their vision for a balanced land use strategy. The plan includes management direction that applies across the entire plan area (i.e., general management), resource management zones (RMZs) where integrated resource management is practiced based on objectives and strategies specific to that RMZ, as well as almost fifty new protected areas. The level of detail found in this plan is greater than that found in previous LRMPs.

In other cases, the weather phenomena are better described in words. Table 3 (page 74 and 207) provides a legend for the various symbols used throughout the local weather sections.
