A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

Beaudoin, Milt Wright and Brian Ronaghan Archaeological Survey, Provincial Museum of Alberta, 12845-102nd Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N OM6, Canada Multidisciplinary research programs conducted within the Alberta portion of the 'Ice-Free Corridor' since 1986 as part of the Archaeological Survey's 'First Albertans' project have used studies of palaeogeography and palaeoenvironments to formulate archaeological search strategies. This approach has resulted in the discovery of two new important sites -- Saskatoon Mountain (GhQt-4) and the James Pass Meadow Complex (EkPu-3 to 9) -- that are yielding information on terminal Late Wisconsinan/Early Holocene human occupation of the corridor. Both sites are dated by AMS or conventional radiocarbon dates to the millennium 10,000-9,000 BP. In the fifteen years since the 1978 AMQUA Conference on the Corridor, other researchers have identified four additional significant Paleo-lndian sites in this region. So far, none confirm human occupation of the 'Ice-Free Corridor' region before about 11,000 BP.

This listing was based on an updated provincial status report (AESRD and ACA 2013), in which 80 lakes were reported to have supported western grebes during the breeding season in the province. Since that time, new sources of data have become available. In this report, we update the known distribution of the western grebe in Alberta using these additional sources and observations.

The objective of the study is to compile existing groundwater information to paint a picture of what is currently known and to set the stage for what needs to be done in the near future. Recommendations are included in this report that will assist in understanding the resource and managing it for long term sustainable use. The OWC released Priorities for the Oldman Watershed: Promoting action to maintain and improve our watershed in January 2012 which outlines eight goals including one for groundwater. The OWC is developing an Integrated Watershed Management Plan for the Oldman River basin which will achieve the eight goals in the Priorities document. Goal five is “understand groundwater and how it interacts with surface water” which is followed by three objectives including one that states “research the availability and quality of groundwater and its interaction with surface water”. This study is a step towards meeting that objective.
