Research Priorities for Nearshore Algae in Coastal British Columbia Workshop and Gap Analysis - Final Report Research Priorities for Nearshore Algae in Coastal British Columbia Workshop and Gap Analysis - Final Report Colin D. Levings and Hannah L. Stewart Fisheries and Oceans Canada Science Branch, Pacific Region Marine Ecosystems and Aquaculture Division Pacific Science Enterprise Centre 4160 Marine Drive West Vancouver, BC V7V 1N6 2020 Canadian Manuscript Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 3191 i Canadian Manuscript Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Manuscript reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which deals with national or regional problems. Distribution is restricted to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. However, no restriction is placed on subject matter, and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, namely, fisheries and aquatic sciences. Manuscript reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report is abstracted in the data base Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts. Manuscript reports are produced regionally but are numbered nationally. Requests for individual reports will be filled by the issuing establishment listed on the front cover and title page. Numbers 1-900 in this series were issued as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Biological Board of Canada, and subsequent to 1937 when the name of the Board was changed by Act of Parliament, as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 1426 - 1550 were issued as Department of Fisheries and Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service Manuscript Reports. The current series name was changed with report number 1551. Rapport manuscrit canadien des sciences halieutiques et aquatiques Les rapports manuscrits contiennent des renseignements scientifiques et techniques qui constituent une contribution aux connaissances actuelles, mais qui traitent de problèmes nationaux ou régionaux. La distribution en est limitée aux organismes et aux personnes de régions particulières du Canada. II n'y a aucune restriction quant au sujet; de fait, la série reflète la vaste gamme des intérêts et des politiques de Pêches et Océans Canada, c'est-à-dire les sciences halieutiques et aquatiques. Les rapports manuscrits peuvent être cités comme des publications à part entière. Le titre exact figure au-dessus du résumé de chaque rapport. Les rapports manuscrits sont résumés dans la base de données Résumés des sciences aquatiques et halieutiques. Les rapports manuscrits sont produits à l'échelon régional, mais numérotés à l'échelon national. Les demandes de rapports seront satisfaites par l'établissement auteur dont le nom figure sur la couverture et la page du titre. Les numéros 1 à 900 de cette série ont été publiés à titre de Manuscrits (série biologique) de l'Office de biologie du Canada, et après le changement de la désignation de cet organisme par décret du Parlement, en 1937, ont été classés comme Manuscrits (série biologique) de l'Office des recherches sur les pêcheries du Canada. Les numéros 901 à 1425 ont été publiés à titre de Rapports manuscrits de l'Office des recherches sur les pêcheries du Canada. Les numéros 1426 à 1550 sont parus à titre de Rapports manuscrits du Service des pêches et de la mer, ministère des Pêches et de l'Environnement. Le nom actuel de la série a été établi lors de la parution du numéro 1551. ii Canadian Manuscript Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 3191 2020 RESEARCH PRIORITIES FOR NEARSHORE ALGAE IN COASTAL BRITISH COLUMBIA WORKSHOP AND GAP ANALYSIS – FINAL REPORT Colin D.

  • Final Report on Bamfield Recommendations on Bamfield
    FINAL REPORT ON BAMFIELD RECOMMENDATIONS June 2021 The University of Victoria will never forget September 13, 2019 and we deeply honour the memories of our two students, Emma Machado and John Geerdes, who passed away on the road to Bamfield that night. We recognize the accident’s aftermath for those closely involved will last well beyond these past 22 months and that, each time it is raised, it can weigh heavily on them. September 2019 was meant to be the start of an exciting new term for 45 UVic students and two teaching assistants. Instead, we mourned the loss of two of our first-year students. The students who survived, their parents and the families of John and Emma experienced an extraordinarily harrowing time. To this day, we remain profoundly sorry for the immeasurable grief, hardships and ongoing challenges caused by this tragic accident and all aspects associated with it. Cover: Eagle Bay near the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, which is situated on the traditional territory of Huu-ay-aht First Nations. Huu-ay-aht is a Nuu-chah-nulth Nation and member of the Maa-nulth Treaty Society. | 1 Learning from the tragic accident Following the accident, UVic commissioned an independent report by external expert Ross Cloutier. As promised when we received the report, Conducting Field Schools to the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, in June 2020, the university has now fulfilled all the recommendations—except those contingent upon a return trip to Bamfield, which has not been possible during the pandemic—as well as other important improvements which go beyond these recommendations.

  • Communities Play an Important Role in the Recovery of Marine Species at Risk: Pinto Abalone and Sea Otter on the West Coast of Vancouver Island
    Communities Play an Important Role in the Recovery of Marine Species at Risk: Pinto Abalone and Sea Otter on the West Coast of Vancouver Island E. ANNE STEWART Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, Bamfield, BC, V0R 1B0, Canada, email [email protected] Abstract: The British Columbia coast is in the center of a kelp forest ecosystem that extends along the Pacific coast of North America. Many marine species at risk depend either directly or indirectly on this system. This paper examines community recovery efforts for two marine species at risk, the pinto abalone (Haliotis kamstchatkana) and the sea otter (Enhydra lutris), on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations and other coastal communities play critical roles in the recovery of these two species, and those efforts are examined here in light of improving collaboration and cooperation with the federal lead agencies responsible for marine species at risk recovery, namely Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Environment Canada. Key Words: pinto abalone1, northern abalone, Haliotis kamstchatkana, sea otter, Enhydra lutris, Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, traditional ecological knowledge, community conservation, marine species recovery, species at risk, British Columbia West Coast Kelp Forests Extreme northern distributions of ecosystems such as Garry oak meadows and the grasslands of the South Okanagan are well known in the Canadian species at risk scene. Less well known are the kelp forests of the outer west coast of Canada, which are at the center of their north-south distribution and support, either directly or indirectly, a large number of listed species at risk including the pinto abalone (Haliotis kamstchatkana), sea otter (Enhydra lutris), marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus), killer whale (Orcinus orca), humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), and various salmonids, to mention a few.
