FISHERIES RESEARCH BOARD OF CANADA MANUSCRIPT REPORT SERIES No.1l74 Area and Locality Codings for British Columbia Herring Biological Data by R. S. K. Isaacson and A. S. Hourston Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo, B.C. January 1972 INTRODUCTION British Columbia herring catch, spawning and sampling data are identified geographically by area and locality. Areas recorded (Fig. 1) are modifications and subdivisions of the statistical areas used by the Markets and Economics Branch to record catches (Isaacson and Hourston M$ 1972). In herring population analyses it has been observed that herring from some localities resemble those from nearby areas more closely than those from the statistical area in which the locality is located and should therefore be grouped with the former for population analysis. Any data for these localities which are coded by statistical area (MEB code) must be revised to the appropriate "biological" area and locality (FRB code) for use in population analyses. -
Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'. -
Rockfish Conservation Areas
ROCKFISH CONSERVATION AREAS Protecting British Columbia’s Rockfish Yelloweye rockfish Quillback rockfish Copper rockfish China rockfish Tiger rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) (Sebastes maliger) (Sebastes caurinus) (Sebastes nebulosus) (Sebastes nigrocinctus) Inshore rockfish identification Yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) are pink to orangey red in colour with bright yellow eyes. Juvenile fish are a darker red with two white stripes along the sides. These stripes fade as the fish grows and large fish may have one or no white stripe along the lateral line. There are two prominent ridges on the top of the head. Fins may be fringed in black. Found in steep rocky reef and boulder habitats from 50 m to 550 m in depth but most common in 150 m (82 fa) depths. Maximum length up to 91 cm (36 in). Quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger) are dark brownish black, mottled with orangey yellow. The lower anterior portion of the body is speckled brown. Dorsal fin spines are very high and moderately notched. The body is deep. Found in rocky habitats from the subtidal to 275 m in depth but most common between 50 m and 100 m (55 fa) in depth. Maximum length up to 61 cm (24 in). Copper rockfish (Sebastes caurinus) are brown to copper in colour with pink or yellow blotches. A white stripe runs along the lateral line on the anterior two thirds of the body. Two dark, sometimes yellow, bars radiate from the eye. Found in kelp beds and rock to gravel habitats from the subtidal to 180 m in depth but most common in water less than 40 m (22 fa). -

Regional Parks and Greenspace Plan 2010
POWELL RIVER REGIONAL DISTRICT November 18, 2010 REGIONAL DISTRICT PARKS AND GREENSPACE PLAN Submitted to: Powell River Regional District 5776 Marine Avenue Powell River B.C. V8A 2M4 Submitted by: HB Lanarc Consultants Ltd. 604-688-9769 Suite 200, 420 Hastings Street West Vancouver, BC V6B 1L1 In Partnership with: Alof!i Consultancy Madrone Environmental Services Ltd. A Note to Readers This “Regional District Parks and Greenspace Plan” is the result of an extended planning process that involved the general public, recreation stakeholders, business interests, and government agencies. It reflects the value residents place on the Region’s many beautiful places and significant natural features, including our coastline, rivers, lakes and back country. The Plan represents an ambitious and long term vision, and it includes many recommendations for achieving this vision. These recommendations are advisory and their inclusion in the Plan does not obligate or guarantee the implementation of any particular one. As the next step, the Regional Board will develop an implementation strategy. This strategy will select from among all the recommendations those that are most important to the overall vision and that are achievable, given financial and other constraints, and will determine a schedule for executing them. On its own, the Regional District has limited resources available and, in some instances, limited authority to act on the Plan recommendations; therefore, the cooperation and participation of various government agencies, private interests and community volunteers is vital to the Plan’s implementation. The Regional District will work to build partnerships that will generate this cooperation as it is through these partnerships that we, as a unified community, will ultimately convert the Plan recommendations into reality. -
