Biogeoclimatic Zones: Coastal Western Hemlock (CWH) Biogeoclimatic Variant: CWHdm Dry Maritime Ecosection: Georgia Lowland Region: Lower Mainland Management Area: Sunshine Coast COMPOSITION Physical: The reserve occurs on undulating terrain of the Georgia Lowland, underlain by largely granitic bedrock. Its western boundary follows 1.5 km of marine shoreline along Agamemnon Channel, its eastern boundary a similar distance along the western edge of Ruby Lake. Soils are predominantly Podzols on glacial till, except for bedrock exposures and boggy areas. Ambrose Lake is located entirely within the reserve, as is most of its rather limited watershed. The lake is 30 ha in area, 33 m deep, and irregular in shape. It drains eastward into Ruby Lake. Biological: Most of the reserve area consists of upland forest in which Douglas-fir and western hemlock are abundant. Western redcedar may be locally common, while western white pine, arbutus, bigleaf maple, flowering dogwood, and cascara occur more sparingly. Typical upland associations include Douglas-fir- salal-moss; western hemlock-Douglas-fir-moss; and western redcedar- Douglas-fir-sword fern. Additional trees recorded in moist and riparian situations are lodgepole pine, red alder, Sitka spruce, and Pacific crab apple. Interesting boglands, of limited extent in this part of the province, occur along the northern margin of Ambrose Lake and along its outlet stream, southeastward from the eastern bulge of the lake. These are characterized by scattered lodgepole pine trees, shrubs such as Labrador tea, sweet gale, and bog-laurel, sedges, and sphagnum moss. The yellow waterlily occurs in shallow bays around the lake edge. The “common” reed, twenty-three species of mosses, six liverworts, and six lichens have been recorded in the reserve. Beaver are known to be present. Prickly sculpins are found in the lake. There is no record of Ambrose Lake ever having been stocked with sport fish.

BOWEN ISLAND We are a small island surrounded by salty ocean water, and so there are limits to our freshwater supply. Yet all life - people, other animals and plants - rely utterly on a continued supply. So we need to answer important questions: Do we have enough water? Are we using it wisely? Are we protecting our drinking water supplies? Are we leaving Bowen enough for nature?

  • Environmental Impact Study Stage 1 Final – Rev 0

The Central Sector is serviced by the Joint Utilities Board (JUB) Lagoon Systems co-owned by the City of Duncan and the Municipality of North Cowichan, and also provides service to properties within parts of CVRD Electoral Areas D and E and parts of Cowichan Tribes reserve. The Joint Utilities Board (JUB) sewage treatment lagoons are located adjacent to the Cowichan River. The aerated lagoon treatment system produces secondary quality effluent, which is disinfected by chlorination, then dechlorinated. Treated wastewater is discharged into the lower reaches of the Cowichan River and subsequently to the Cowichan Estuary and ocean environment. In recent years, low flows in the Cowichan River have resulted in a situation where there is insufficient dilution of the effluent plume with respect to the river flow. This resulted in the temporary closure of the Cowichan River to recreational activities in August of 2014. It is proposed that the point of discharge be moved from the Cowichan River to the marine environment of Satellite Channel, where significantly more dilution can be achieved and where the likelihood of interaction between the effluent plume and sensitive areas can be reduced.

  • A Bowen Island Case Study
    DWELLING, TOURISM AND SUSTAINABILITY ON THE RURAL- URBAN FRINGE: A BOWEN ISLAND CASE STUDY by Donna Nona Pettipas BFA, University of Victoria, 1981 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) January, 2010 © Donna Nona Pettipas, 2010 ABSTRACT The thesis examines the question of why people live in rural communities, what draws them to these communities and the significance of social sustainability. The focus is on the view of individual perspectives that could be obtained through the process of completed questionnaires and interviews. Results of the combined questionnaire and interviews were referenced to earlier studies and to government statistics. The community of Bowen Island served as the case study, a rural community with a historical and evolving relationship to Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. The research activity was designed to be one of information and knowledge gathering, rather than an issue-oriented approach. The approach taken is one of discovering patterns of shared values and the adaptive practices of islanders in their homes and community environs. Transcribed interview responses were grouped by enquiry type to facilitate comparison between participants across BI neighbourhoods, resulting in qualitatively rich personal narratives about home, habitat and community engagement. The community is physically engaged in a beautiful mountainous and marine environment, which is also a tourist destination. Fun is a quality of BI‘s community celebrations along with spirituality and a connection to nature, the backdrop to a privileged life-style; some with ‗plenty of dough‘ most somewhere in-between ranging to bohemian artists, sharing in the community dynamic.

All rights reserved. 301 302 Sea Otter Conservation INTRODUCTION: REGIME SHIFTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS ALONG NORTH AMERICA’S NORTHWEST COAST One of our legends explains that the sea otter was originally a man. While col- lecting chitons he was trapped by an incoming tide. To save himself, he wished to become an otter. His transformation created all otters. Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository (2005) Human interactions with sea otters and kelp forest ecosystems have spanned millennia ( Figure 11.1 ; Rick et al., 2011 ). In fact, archeological evidence suggests that the highly productive kelp forests of the Pacific Rim may have sustained the original coastal ocean migration route of maritime people to the Americas near the end of the Pleistocene ( Erlandson et al., 2007 ). Similarly, many coastal First Nations stories speak of ancestors who came from the sea (Boas, 1932; Brown and Brown, 2009; Guujaaw, 2005; Swanton, 1909). Yet this vast and aqueous “kelp highway,” providing food, tools, trade goods, and safe anchorage for sophisticated watercraft, would have been highly susceptible to overgrazing by sea urchins had it not been FIGURE 11.1 Sea otter pictographs from Kachemak Bay, Alaska.
