SHELLFISH - GOALS AND OBJECTIVES - Geoducks 3.1. To ensure conservation and protection of shellfish' stocks coastwide through the application of scientific management principles. 3.2. To ensure the optimal use of shellfish stocks in order to meet social and economic objectives of the people of Canada. 3.3. To develop fishing plans consistent with principles of conservation, through a consultative process with users of the resource. 3.4. To preserve, enhance, restore and protect critical aquatic habitat for shellfish production. Geoducks beds should not be harvested to levels less than 50 % of the original biomass. 3.5. To optimize the quality of shellfish harvested and provide a constant year round supply of geoducks for the live markets. 1994 (kodw:k MiUUlgemml Plan P(Jge 4 oj54 4. ENFORCEMENT PLAN The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has recently reorganized into sector management which has resulted in the creation of an enforcement branch called Conservation and Protection. The Conservation and Protection Branch has the responsibility to enforce the Fisheries Act and associated regulations, to address conservation, health and safety issues and to maintain proper management and control of the various fisheries. Priorities in enforcement activities are discussed with users in the Sectoral Committee meetings and will be addressed during the 1994 season. Users of the resource have a responsibility to report violations. Any suspected or actual fisheries, wildlife or pollution violations can be quickly and discretely reported to the appropriate Enforcement Officer by using the toll free Observe, Record and Repon hotline. This toll free number is available 24 hours a day. Confidentiality is assured. OBSERVE, RECORD AND REPORT - 1-B00-465-4DFO (1-B00-465-4336) Enforcement enquiries can also be directed to the local Field Offices during regular office hours. 5. ABORIGINAL FISHERIES STRATEGY The Department of Fisheries and· Oceans recognizes the importance of fish, including invertebrates, to the aboriginal peoples of British Columbia. Through the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy, the Department seeks to negotiate, with aboriginal organizations, allocations for food, social and ceremonial purposes. Subject to conservation, these allocations will have priority over allocations for commercial and recreational user groups. The Department will consult with aboriginal organizations to determine what these allocations should be. In some cases, instead of negotiating allocations, an area may be closed to certain fishing except fishing by an aboriginal organization. These closures may be for the season or for specified times. Whenever possible, the appropriate annual fishing plan will identify such closures. Communal licences will be issued to the aboriginal organization for the fishing. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the appropriate Divisional Aboriginal Fisheries Coordinator listed in Section 2 of this fishing plan. J994 G~oduck Managemenl Plan PageS 0/$4 6. SPORT FISHING The recreational harvest of shellfish is regulated via the British Columbia Sport Fishing Regulations made under the Fisheries Act. The regulations are summarized annually in the British Columbia Tidal Waters Sport FIShing Guide which lists closed times, bag limits, size limits (where applicable) and closed areas. If necessary, public notices are posted to document closures or changes from the Guide. Closures may be implemented in order to conserve vulnerable stocks, protect the public from consumption of contaminated shellfish or to meet Aboriginal food, social and ceremonial needs. For some species, areas have been closed to commercial harvest or open times for commercial harvest have been delayed to provide an opportunity for the recreational community. The primary consultative body for the recreational fishing community is the Sport Fishing Advisory Board (SFAB). The SFAB has representatives from all parts of this community including the BC Wildlife Federation and the Sport Fishing Institute of BC. Within the SFAB, a shellfish committee has been established for the South

  • Energy Resources in BC's Central Interior
    Western Geography, 12 (2002), pp. 216–229 ©Western Division, Canadian Association of Geographers Energy Resources in BC’s Central Interior Peter Ostergaard Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer British Columbia Utilities Commission Reliable, convenient, and reasonably priced energy services are a prerequisite for both quality of life and an energy-intensive resource sector in central British Columbia. Investments by governments, Crown corpo- rations, and BC-based companies in energy infra- structure to facilitate regional economic development characterized most of the last 50 years. This is chang- ing. While access to infrastructure remains important, the region’s gas and electricity price advantages are dis- appearing as these commodities are traded across conti- nental infrastructure networks. Future energy invest- ments in the region will be more environmentally benign and perhaps environmentally beneficial, as efforts to continue to mitigate the environmental impacts of reservoirs, reservoir operations, and energy corridors. Introduction The Central Interior’s abundance of low cost energy resources has strongly influenced the evolution of the region’s economy and patterns of settlement. Aside from biomass supplies (e.g., firewood, pulping liquor, hog fuel), the region imports most of its energy needs using a highly developed and reliable network of oil and gas pipelines and power transmission lines. Access to these supplies has been a prerequisite to attracting the energy intensive, resource based industries upon which the region will continue to depend. However, these abundant, low cost supplies have come at an envi- ronmental cost, primarily in the form of flooded valley bottoms and land alienated by pipeline and transmission corridors. Energy Resources in BC’s Central Interior 217 Historical Context Traditionally when we think of energy, its sources come to mind.

Submitted ____________________, 2005. International Forest Products Ltd. Authors Gordon Butt, Madrone Environmental Services J. Dan Lousier, Whiskeyjack Science Don McMillan, Interfor Warren Warttig, Interfor DRAFT Interfor Madrone Conservation and Sustainable Forestry Plan TFL 54 June 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Like ordinary TFL Management Plans, this Conservation and Sustainable Forestry Plan will show how Interfor will manage TFL 54 in Clayoquot Sound over the coming five-year period (2005 to 2009). However, Clayoquot Sound is not an ordinary place and this is not an ordinary Management Plan. This Plan describes the special context and history of the Sound, it explains how Interfor has met the challenges of the last decade, and will show how Interfor will continue to sustainably manage the TFL in the future. The 1995 Clayoquot Sound Scientific Panel recommendations resulted in fundamental and dramatic changes and marked a clear departure from earlier, conflict-inspiring industrial forest management focusing on timber production. The preparation of this plan marks the 10th anniversary since Interfor began the implementation of the Scientific Panel’s recommendations. In fully embracing these changes, Interfor has been on the forefront of ecosystem-based management in BC. It now has 10 years experience working with the new way of doing business. Interfor has adjusted to a new philosophy that emphasizes the trees left behind, rather than the trees harvested. Interfor can claim numerous successes. It has: 1.

  • Schedule of Indian Reserves and Settlements
    Schedule of Indian Reserves and Settlements Schedule of Indian Reserves and Settlements Preface 1. This schedule contains lists of Indian Reserves and Settlements in Canada by Provinces and lists of Indian Bands by Regions taken from information filed with the Indian Land Registry as of June 1, 1972. 2. Indian Settlements are shown in the "Reserve" columns of Parts 1 and 2. These are not Indian Reserves within the meaning of the Indian Act and occupation of settlements is not restricted to a particular Band. 3. Part 1 of the schedule lists Indian Reserves and Settlements alphabetically by Provinces. Settlements follow after the alphabetical list of Reserves for each Province. This section also states the names of the Indian Bands for whose use and benefit the Reserves have been set apart, the approximate geographical location and the approximate acreage of each Reserve. 4. Map designations are given in the location description. The N.T.S. abbreviation means the "National Topographical Systems" of maps covering the Reserves and adjacent land. Maps can be obtained by writing to the Map Distribution Office, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa, Ontario. When ordering maps the complete N.T.S. designations must be quoted. To assist in locating Reserve location, approximate degrees and minutes latitude and longitude have been given. 5. Acreage includes all lands in which the Band has a recorded interest. Acreages are shown as APPROXIMATE because in most cases they are based on old data which have not yet been verified. Research and surveys to establish accurate acreage are being carried out and the acreage shown may be changed in the future.

    Williston-Dinosaur Watershed Fish Mercury Investigation 2017 Report Prepared for: Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, Peace Region 3333 22nd Ave. Prince George, BC V2N 1B4 June 2018 Azimuth Consulting Group Partnership 218-2902 West Broadway Vancouver BC, V6K 2G8 Project No. CO94394 Williston-Dinosaur Watershed Fish Mercury Investigation – 2017 Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) – Peace Region carried out a strategic planning process in 2012-13 to review and identify program priorities in this region. Guided by a Strategic Planning Group (SPG), including First Nations, academia, BC Hydro and the FWCP-Peace Board, a Peace Basin Plan and six Action Plans were finalized in 2014. Objective 3a of the Reservoirs Action Plan is to “Improve understanding of mercury concentrations, contamination pathways and potential effects on human health and the broader ecosystem.” Initial efforts on this objective were commissioned by FWCP Peace in 2014 and identified the need to obtain updated information on fish mercury concentrations and consumption habits. In 2016, the Azimuth Consulting Group (Azimuth) team (including EDI Environmental Dynamics [EDI], Chu Cho Environmental [CCE] and Hagen and Associates) was awarded a multi-year contract to collect fish mercury data from the Parsnip, Peace, Finlay reaches of Williston and Dinosaur reservoirs and reference lakes (i.e., the Williston-Dinosaur Watershed Fish Mercury Study). Results of this investigation will assess provide an updated fish mercury database for the Williston-Dinosaur watershed and understanding of how results compare with nearby reference lakes. The long-term goal is to ‘update’ the existing fish consumption advisory, in partnership with provincial health agencies.
