As she quickly pulled over and put on the brakes, her kayak torpedoed into the rear window of a parked mail truck.

    On the cover The continuous kiln of the Clayburn Brick Works was part of J.B. Millar’s plant expansion in 1911. Such a kiln consists of several inter-connected chambers which allow the heat produced in one section to pass through all of the others before going up the chimney. This chimney, the highest structure in Clayburn, was a landmark visible for many miles until it was pulled down in the 1930s. On its face is written “Clayburn 1911” in raised, buff coloured brick.

    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.

  • Glass Sponge Aggregations in Howe Sound

    Glass Sponge Aggregations in Howe Sound

    Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Pacific Region Science Response 2018/032 GLASS SPONGE AGGREGATIONS IN HOWE SOUND: LOCATIONS, REEF STATUS, AND ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE ASSESSMENT Context The protection of benthic communities and features falls within the mandate of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) at the national level under the Oceans Act, Fisheries Act, and under ratified international agreements. The plan to meet conservation targets includes advancing Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OEABCM), such as fishing closures, to protect sensitive sponge and coral aggregations. Glass sponge reefs are unique habitats found along the Pacific coast of Canada and the United States with historic, ecological, and economic value. They link benthic and pelagic environments by playing important roles in filtration and carbon and nitrogen processing, and acting as silica sinks (Chu et al. 2011, Tréguer and De La Rocha 2013, Kahn et al. 2015). They also form habitat for diverse communities of invertebrates and fish, including those of economic importance (Cook et al. 2008, Chu and Leys 2010, Dunham et al. 2015, 2018). Over the past 15 years, nine glass sponge reef complexes were discovered and mapped in the Strait of Georgia and Howe Sound using remote sensing (Conway et al. 2004, 2005, and 2007) and subsequently ground-truthed by DFO Science using standardized visual survey methods in 2012-2013. In 2014, DFO requested that fishers using bottom-contact gear voluntarily avoid these areas while DFO consulted on formal protection measures. After reviewing important input from the consultation process with First Nations, commercial and recreational fishers, and conservation organizations, formal bottom-contact fishing closures were established, effective June 12, 2015.

    Socio-Economic Baseline of the Howe Sound Area

    Socio-Economic Baseline of the Howe Sound Area Prepared for Stephen Foster Prepared by Lions Gate Consulting 207-2902 West Broadway Vancouver, BC t/f: 604.733.5622 [email protected] July 22, 2013 Socio-economic Baseline of the Howe Sound Area Executive Summary Introduction This socio-economic baseline report is prepared in support of a proposed Howe Sound Protected Area. Its purpose is to provide information about community and economic conditions within the project footprint and in adjacent communities. Demographic, labour force and other socio-economic data were assembled for the region, while a GIS analysis was undertaken to identify the type and scale of commercial, industrial and residential uses on Crown land in the study area. Community Profile The Local Study Area (LSA) includes the municipalities of Bowen Island and Lions Bay, Gambier and Anvil islands and crown land in the vicinity of McNabb Creek on the north short of Howe Sound (see Figure 2-1). There are four provincial parks, a regional park and an ecological reserve within the LSA. The Regional Study Area (RSA) is a broader area where communities interact with the land and marine base in the LSA.
