Since June, 2006 I have had the opportunity to gain insight into the work of the Council and to understand better its role in promoting and encouraging sustainability in the Fraser Basin. The Fraser River stretches almost 1,400 km from the high This annual report will capture the broad range of activities Rockies around Mount Robson to the Strait of Georgia in that the FBC supports, both regionally within the Fraser Basin Vancouver. Along with its tributaries, including the Nechako and province-wide. One of the most important features of and Thompson Rivers, the Fraser Basin drains one-quarter of the FBC is that it is action oriented. The Council, through its the landmass of British Columbia. It is one of the greatest talented staff and under the direction of the 36-member salmon-bearing river systems in the world. It is also home board, gets things done. It works in partnership with all orders to almost three million people, the majority living in of government—federal, provincial, local, and First Nations— Metropolitan Vancouver, the others in the cities of Kamloops and with other NGOs and private and public organizations to and Prince George and in numerous towns and villages, each address the most pressing sustainability issues of our times. with a distinctive character and voice. Finally, the Fraser Basin is the economic engine of British Columbia and among the FBC programs cover a wide range of activities, from protection strongest economic regions in Canada. and restoration of salmon habitat, to improved vehicular fleet management, planning for sustainable communities, floodplain In its work to promote and encourage sustainability in the mapping and flood protection, groundwater monitoring, urban Fraser River Basin, the Council divides the watershed into five and forest fire interface planning, greenhouse gas emission regions: the Upper Fraser, the Thompson, the Cariboo-Chilcotin, reductions, a sustainable purchasing network, community the Fraser Valley, and Greater Vancouver-Sea to Sky. Each of energy efficiency planning, and help for small farm producers these areas has a Regional Manager, regional directors, and to expand markets for their products. These are but a few of the others who form a regional committee. It has been my privilege some 40 distinctive programs on which the Council is working. to visit each of these diverse regions, to gain insight into the As varied as they are, they share the same intent: to protect the issues of sustainability that are crucial to the social well-being, environment while improving the quality of life and fostering environmental health, and economic success of each. In the economic prosperity in one of the most beautiful and naturally process I have encountered many outstanding local leaders productive basins in the world. working for the future of this remarkable region of the world. 2 The Fraser Basin Council Annual Report 2006/2007 “ Sustainability is not about preserving the status quo; nor is it about returning to some idealized ‘golden age’ in the past… It is about being trustees charged with a responsibility to ensure that we will leave our part of the world in the best shape possible for our children and our children’s children.” Sustainability

  • Fish 2002 Tec Doc Draft3
    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.

Administrative History An Ecological Reserve is an area of Crown land (public land) with the most special conservation designation within the British Columbia Protected Areas system. The purposes of the reserves are for scientific research, the establishment of benchmark areas to measure changes in ecosystems, protection of biological diversity, protection of rare and endangered organisms, and the preservation of unique, unusual or outstanding natural phenomena. In the 1960s and `70s, Canada participated in a decade of research known as the International Biological Program (IBP); this involved the description of essential sites on standard international check-sheets. In some cases, check-sheets are the only source of information for many ecological reserves. The British Columbia Ecological Reserves Act passed in 1971; this meant that BC became the first Province in Canada to give permanent protected status to ecological reserves. The Province has the world’s most comprehensive ecological reserves program, as of 2015, there are 148 ecological reserves in BC. University of British Columbia Professor Vladimir Joseph Krajina (1905-1993) advocated for the formation of ecological reserves throughout the 1950s amidst the increase in logging in the Province.
