    Plankton – What Do We Know About the Bottom of the Aquatic Food Chain?

    OCEAN WATCH | Howe Sound Edition SPECIES AND HABITATS Plankton – What do we know about the bottom of the aquatic food chain? AUTHORS John G. Stockner, PhD, Emeritus Scientist, What’s happening with DFO, Adjunct Professor, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, UBC Paul J. Harrison, PhD, Professor Emeritus, plankton? Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, UBC Chances are with other changes occurring in Howe Sound, plankton, the tiny REVIEWER organisms at the base of the food chain, may be changing too. The problem Stephanie King, Sea This Consulting, Nanaimo, B.C. is we don’t know what’s happening because no one is currently doing any research in this area. The last time any extensive plankton surveys were undertaken in Howe Sound was in the 1970s, so we currently have no data to tell us if there have been any changes in plankton biomass and the timing of their cycles. We can observe phytoplankton blooms remotely by sens- ing water colour using a satellite sensor such as MERIS (Figure 1), with its 300 meter spatial resolution, but this sensor is no longer in operation. Early in 2016, the European Space Agency launched the OLCI sensor onboard the Sentinel-3 satellite, which has the same resolution and data will be available soon.1 Plankton | Page 21 OCEAN WATCH | Howe Sound Edition SPECIES AND HABITATS Figure 1.

    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'.

    BLUEWATER ADVENTURES SAMPLE ITINERARY – SALISH SEA COLLECTIVE Átl’ḵa7tsem/ Txwnéwu7ts / Howe Sound Sample Itinerary Start: Vancouver, BC Finish: Vancouver, BC Vessel: Island Odyssey 3 days This is intended as a Sample Itinerary. Please do not book flights based on information listed in this document as changes are possible. You will be provided with an Arrivals and Departures Itinerary once all details have been confirmed. Please contact us with any questions. For groups looking for a quick getaway from the lower mainland, Howe Sound offers an easy escape from the bustle of the city. Sailing on emerald green seas in the daily inflow winds, you will enjoy breathtaking views of towering mountains rising straight from the sea as we explore the islands and shoreline of this local getaway. Hikers will delight in the many trails to be traversed on Gambier and Anvil Islands, while the truly adventurous can snorkel above the shipwrecks at BC’s first underwater marine park at Porteau Cove. Other highlights may include kayaking amidst the Pasley Islands and venturing out into the Strait of Georgia in search of humpback whales. This beautiful region lies within the traditional territories of the Squamish and Sheshalh nations. People with an interest in natural history will thoroughly enjoy this trip. Each voyage is accompanied by an experienced naturalist who will give talks, slide shows, and lead shore excursions. With the help of interested participants we plan to keep a list of the animals and plants we sight each day. We do daily shore excursions in our inflatable zodiacs, as well as hikes on the various islands that suit the abilities and interests of your group.

Biol., Senior Environmental Scientist Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd. .......................................................... Dr. Tony Boydell, Director School of Environment and Sustainability ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY February 2010 © Caroline Kohar Armour, 2010 Investigating Cottid Recolonization ii ABSTRACT An estimated 90% of resident sculpin (Cottus asper and C. aleuticus) were impacted by a spill of 45,000 litres of sodium hydroxide, which occurred on the Cheakamus River, British Columbia on August 5, 2005. This study examined sculpin biology, life history, how sculpins are recovering from the impact, and whether they are re-entering the Cheakamus River from the adjacent Squamish and Mamquam Rivers. Sculpins were sampled in the three river systems via minnow trapping and electrofishing. Morphometric data were recorded and fin clips were taken as deoxyribonucleic acid vouchers to validate field species identification and to determine population distinctiveness among the three systems. Populations were not distinct, suggesting recolonization from other rivers is occurring. The data show sculpins will undergo seasonal downstream spawning migrations and also suggest sculpins are opportunistic habitat colonizers. This research bears useful implications for the adaptive management, recovery, and sustainability of sculpins in the Cheakamus River.

REVIEWER If you are out on the waters of Howe Sound, you are more likely to see and Rob Butler, Pacific Wildlife Foundation hear marine birds than any other wildlife. Marine birds animate Howe Sound with sounds of gulls, roosting cormorants at Horseshoe Bay, and great rafts of scoters and goldeneye that provide a magnificent shoreline spectacle dur- ing the winter months. Because marine birds are highly visible, changes in their populations are easier to observe than other species and they’ve be- come important indicators of environmental stress.2 But recent reviews of marine birds throughout the Strait of Georgia and Salish Sea have identified long term declines in a number of species that raise serious concerns.3,4 A recent assessment compares changes in marine bird counts in Howe Sound to changes noted in the Strait of Georgia and finds that changes in Howe Sound winter bird counts tend to parallel, with a few exceptions, the trends in nearby coastal marine birds as documented for the Strait of Georgia.5 Most of what we know about marine birds in Howe Sound comes from the observations of volunteers over many years. Volunteers conduct an- nual Christmas bird counts and monthly counts at several locations within Howe Sound. For example, in December 2015 and January

Journal) publication. Technical Reports are directed primarily towards a world wide audience and have an international distribution. No restriction is placed on subject matter and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of the Fisheries and Marine Service, namely, fisheries management, technology and development, ocean sciences, and aquatic environ­ ments relevant to Canada. Technical Reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report will be abstracted in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and will be indexed annually in the Service's index to scientific and technical publications. Numbers 1-456 in this series were issued as Technical Reports of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 457-714 were issued as Department of the Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service, Research and Development Director­ ate Technical Reports. The series name was changed with report number 715. Details on the availability of Technical Reports in hard copy may be obtained from the issuing establishment indicated on the front cover.
