Reid Technical Report Series No. PAC/T-74-11 NOB/ECON 6-74 Northern Operations Branch Pacific Region THE IMPORTANCE OF SPORT FISHING TO THE NORTH MAINLAND COAST AND NORTH CENTRAL AREAS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ECONOMIC SURVEY by David J. Reid Department of the Environment Fisheries and Marine Service Northern Operations Branch Economics and Sociology Unit Pacific Region June, 1974 FOREWORD Large-scale economic expansion is planned for North-Western British Columbia in the next ten years. Industrial development and its concomitant population growth will lean heavily on the water resources of the area. With this in mind, the Northern Operations Branch, Economics and Sociology Unit, has undertaken a series of studies in the area. The objective of these studies is to establish the values associated with recreational uses of local waterways. The present study is devoted to the sport fisheries along the Yel10whead Route between Prince George and Prince Rupert. A second study, in preparation, examines the importance of maintaining the quality of water resources in the North-West and chooses as an example Lake1se Lake near Terrace. In the planning stage are reports on the Stewart Highway and Kitimat Valley regions. The s~ort fishing surveys carried out in 1972 were directed by myself. David Reid took over the field programs after joining the Fisher­ ies and Marine Service in April 1973.

  • 2Nd Quarter 2008 (April 1 - June 30)
    QUARTERLY ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT SUMMARY 2nd Quarter 2008 (April 1 - June 30) Protecting the Splendor of our Natural Places Highlights The Quarterly Environmental Enforcement Summary for Q2 2008 outlines 8 orders 41 Administrative Sanctions, 463 Tickets, and 16 Court Convictions and for a combined total of almost $140,000 in penalties. Notable Highlights this Quarter: The Ministry of Environment introduced the Environmental (Species and Public Protection) Amendment Act which amends the Wildlife Act and the Environmental Management Act, allowing provisions for: - increasing (doubling, on average) maximum fines and penalties for all offences under the Wildlife Act; - filling in regulatory gaps for managing alien species and helping to protect both the public and native wildlife; - increasing Park Ranger's authority to monitor hunting and fishing activities; - clarifying the scope of the government’s authority concerning spill response and cost recovery, and; - improving general regulation-making powers for results-based regulations and minister’s codes of practice under the Environmental Management Act. As part of ongoing efforts to address damages to sensitive habitat areas, the following actions were reported out this quarter: Penticton resident Victor Fitzgerald pled guilty to two charges of removing soil from his property and placing it in Okanagan Lake resulting in a substantial silt plume. The court ordered him to pay a total of $20,000, with $19,000 of that going to the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF). Fitzgerald's contractor – Wildstone Engineering and Construction Ltd. – also pled guilty to one count and was ordered to pay a fine of $500 plus $9,500 to the HCTF. The Conservation Officer Service (COS) has been working with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts and the Ministry of Forests and Range to raise public awareness about the damaging impacts that “mud-bogging” and other off- road activities can have on sensitive wetlands, grasslands, and subalpine areas.
