New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund List of Projects for Approval January 2017 NEW BRUNSWICK WILDLIFE TRUST FUND LIST OF PROJECTS FOR APPROVAL JANUARY 2017 Restigouche River Watershed Management Council Inc. Atlantic Salmon Survey 2017 – Restigouche River System $10,000. The objectives are to undertake: surveys of Atlantic salmon smolt production from the Kedgwick River; surveys of Atlantic salmon juvenile abundance on the Restigouche River system; and, surveys of adult Atlantic salmon returns to the Restigouche River system in mid- September. Nepisiguit Salmon Association Nepisiguit Salmon Association Salmon Enhancement Project $7,000. Assessment and enhancement of the Nepisiguit and area rivers with a goal of attaining optimum returns on an ongoing basis. Aid in management of the resource by gathering the required data so that the resource can be passed on to future generations. Partenariat pour la gestion intégrée du bassin versant de la baie de Caraquet Inc. Fish Habitat Improvement in the Caraquet River and its Tributaries $10,000. Gestion H20 wants to increase the yield and capacity of the river, as well as the streams to their full potential with adequate measures. They must also remove from the watercourse the objects that provoke obstacles which harm the habitat or fish passage, or cause some flooding. Comité de Gestion Environnementale de la Rivière Pokemouche Fish Habitat Restoration in Fidèle’s Brook – Phase IV $7,000. The main objective of this project is to increase the fish biomass of Fidèle’s Brook by the improvement of the quality of its habitat. In order to reach this objective, the C.G.E.R.P. wishes to finish the restoration work of the fish habitat in this stream. Some habitat inventories will be done before and after the restoration work. Association des bassins versants de la Grande et Petite rivière Tracadie Ecological Enhancement of the Fish Habitat in Clearwater Brook $6,000. Their principal goals are the reduction of sediments and the improvement of the components that enhance the quality of fish habitat, that of salmonids in particular. Selective cleanup of remaining sections will increase the current and then installing ecological structures will cause sediment to redeposit behind them and free up the gravel where fish spawn. These efforts will result mainly in decreased sediments in the stream, due in part to a decreased area of eroded bank; increased dissolved oxygen, stream velocity, and clean gravel for spawning; and increased size and accessibility of the habitat available to fish, particularly for spawning. Comité Sauvons nos Rivières Neguac Inc. Ecological Restoration of Degraded Aquatic Habitats in Godin Brook and McKnight Brook $8,000. This project consists of continuing the ecological restoration work in Godin Brook and to start the work in McKnight Brook. Water quality and the aquatic habitats of these streams are degraded by the presence of garbage, coarse organic wood debris, some alder overgrowth, blockages that slow down the stream and which act as decanter for the sediments. Miramichi Salmon Association Inc. Smolt Predation Study on the Northwest Miramichi River 2017 $5,500. The objective is to determine the survival rate and predation level of Atlantic salmon smolts migrating to the ocean from the Northwest Miramichi River and potentially locate areas of high mortality. Miramichi Salmon Association Juvenile Atlantic Salmon Assessment on the Miramichi River 2017 $14,000. Assess 60 DFO baseline sites throughout the Miramichi Watershed to maintain a long term data set on the fish community in the Miramichi River and determine the overall health of the river. Assess spring stocking success of first feeding fry to determine if stocking location provides suitable habitat for young. Stocked location densities that are higher than unstocked locations are considered to reflect successful survival of hatchery fry. Determine suitable sites (good habitat, low wild densities) that can be stocked in order to improve salmon production on rivers with low salmon abundance (i.e.: Little Southwest, Cains, Renous). To assess the effectiveness of the 2016 Miramichi beaver dam management program through electrofishing upstream of locations in which large beaver dams acted as barriers to upstream migration of adult spawning salmon. 2 Miramichi Watershed Management Committee Miramichi Lake Smallmouth Bass Containment 2017 $15,000. The primary objective is to contain the smallmouth bass in Miramichi Lake until the eradication can be completed. Miramichi Watershed Management Committee Striped Bass Creel Survey on the Miramichi 2017 $7,990. The objectives are to determine the angling harvest and how that might affect the abundance of striped bass, determine the ratio of retained to released bass, and to investigate the economic importance of the bass fishery to the Miramichi. Northumberland Salmon Protection Association Adult Salmon and Striped Bass Assessment on the Northwest Miramichi River 2017 $12,000. The first objective of the project is to determine the returns of adult salmon to the Northwest Miramichi system to determine if conservation levels are being met. Secondly, they want to determine the returns of spawning striped bass to the Northwest Miramichi to aide in management decisions. Les Amis de la Kouchibouguacis Inc. Kouchibouguacis River Aquatic Habitat 2017 $12,000. Inventory aquatic habitats on the main branch of the Kouchibouguacis River. The data collected will help to assess the status of the habitats since the last inventory (1992 by the NB DNR); they will be able to compare with older data harvested to see if there have been any changes and evaluate the quality of salmonid spawning grounds. Les Amis de la Kouchibouguacis Inc. Atlantic Salmon (education, egg incubation, restoration and monitoring) $9,490. The objective is to harvest salmon spawners from which to extract eggs and soft roe (milt) in order to raise salmon in their satellite rearing pond, thus increasing the survival rate of the juvenile salmon. 3 Southeastern Anglers Association Mill Creek Bank Stabilization and Fish Habitat Improvement $9,000. The main objective will be to link together and improve restored sites that have been established on the Mill Creek tributary (Bouctouche River) 15 years ago. Mill Creek still shows many issues with erosion and sedimentation especially since the bridge washout event in 2014. The objective will include restoration and stabilization of eroded river banks upstream and downstream of the culvert area and repair the stream morphology closest to its previous state. Shediac Bay Watershed Association Fish Habitat Restoration, Evaluation and Education of the Enhancement of Salmonids Populations in the Shediac Bay Watershed $6,000. To engage the public and increase awareness of salmonids and the importance of sustainable use of the watershed; continue education programs such as Fish Friends; conduct electrofishing surveys to measure changes in salmonid population in important tributaries, and as a tool to measure improvements in restoration sites; improve fish habitat and passage with restoration techniques. Vision H20 (Groupe du bassin versant de la région de Cap-Pelé) Evaluation of the Tedish River as Habitats of Salmonids $8,000. The objectives of this project for the 2017-2018 season: evaluate the upstream section of the Tedish River as a habitat (characterization, substrate, riparian zone); inventory of aquatic species in the watercourse (fish, macro invertebrates, vegetation and freshwater mussels); assessment of the riparian zone for the monitored section of the river (stability, the presence of trees); detection of major barriers to fish migration (culverts, waste); reduction of the source of the problems in the river which can affect certain aquatic species (siltation, toxic products, garbage); and, raise awareness about the protection of rivers and aquatic populations with workshops and kiosks. Kurt Samways UNB, Canadian River Institute Restoring Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic Salmon through Conservation Rearing: Migration- Related Evaluation of Reproductive Success $8,400. The primary objective of smolt to adult supplementation is to bypass the observed high at-sea mortality and re-establish natural spawning within the river. Producing and releasing numbers of native adults that rival historic natural return levels, 500-1000 adults per year over the next 5 years to the Upper Salmon River may achieve this. 4 Fort Folly Habitat Recovery Program Monitoring & Assessment of Endangered Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic Ssalmon on the Big Salmon River $10,000. To estimate numbers and determine origin of emigrating smolt from the Big Salmon River; to collect target number wild smolts from Rotary Screw Trap captures; to carry out summer and fall adult salmon snorkel surveys and seining on the Big Salmon River; to assist DFO in parr collections; and, communication of project results through websites and social media. Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration Committee Removing Fish Passage Barriers in the Kennebecasis $7,000. The objectives are to re-assess the condition of the culverts noted as potential rock weir sites; to select 4-6 high priority sites and discuss with DTI; to attain permission from DTI and obtain a wetland watercourse alteration permit from the selected sites; to install 4-6 rock weir flow control structures to improve fish access to culvert perched 20-30 cm; and map and document culvert locations and assess habitat conditions 100m above and below the culvert post installation.

Son but est aussi de faciliter la recherche aux chercheurs en mettant à leur disposition toute cette documentation et les instruments nécessaires à son accessibilité. Dans ce sens, le Centre publiait en 1975 un inventaire général des archives publiques ou semi-publiques concernant les Acadiens. L'accueil fait à ce volume par les historiens et les professeurs d'histoire indique clairement qu'il répondait à un besoin manifeste. Cet inventaire n'était que le premier d'une série de travaux que le Centre se proposait de rédiger. D'autres devaient suivre, tels une bibliographie acadienne, un dictionnaire généalogique, un inventaire des articles de revue, une brochure sur le folklore, etc.

Before that time, this rock (barren except for a highland meadow in summer) vas a marinar's nightmare of sudden fog banks, high seas and hidden rocky shoals. The Harbour Seal, for whioh this island vas probably named, occurs only at a nearby shoal, North Rock. Although today's Journey is quite safe, trips to the island are cancelled vithout notice due to unexpected vind changes or a possible dangerous landing because of ground svells, strong cur- rents and surf. The meadov area of the island contains a variety of plant life: asters, vild parsleys, docks, grasses, sedges, and many other herbs. This island, like many others in the Machias Bay area, vas used for cattle and sheep grazing as vell as Limited farming. Some of these islands vere strategic in the naval maneuvers during the American Revolution. The first naval encounter of that var vas in Machias Bay vhen the villagers of Machias beached the British cutter Margareta. Most birders and photographers are attracted to Machias Seal Island to ob­ serve Common Puffins (Pratercula árctica) at cióse range. Common Puffins and Razorbills (Alca torda) seem to invite us not only to vatch them but to take delight in posing. Tvo blinds eire provided overlooking the rocky nesting area. The puffins arrive in late April and remain in the vater until they receive a mysterious signal; then, in one large flock, they settle into their nesting sites.

This section provides an overview. 2.1 Overview of Canaport Energy East Marine Terminal Operations and Expanded Shipping Operations The proposed marine terminal will be located on the western shore of the Bay of Fundy, southeast of the City of Saint John and southwest of Mispec Point, New Brunswick. The marine terminal is proposed to be located adjacent to the two existing Canaport marine facilities: a single buoy mooring (SBM or mono- buoy) for offloading crude oil to the Irving Canaport facility, and the Canaport LNG terminal for import and now recently licensed for export of liquefied natural gas (Figure 1-1). The marine terminal will include pile-supported trestles and breasting/mooring dolphins for two berths that can accommodate Aframax and Suezmax tankers (Berth 2), as well as VLCC tanker types (Berth 1), with capacities of 113,300 to 348,000 m3 (710,000 to 2.2 million barrels). The two berths will be constructed simultaneously. Oil will be pumped from shore via a trestle approximately 645 m long. Berths 1 and 2 will be interconnected by a trestle approximately 380 m long. The marine terminal is expected to receive approximately 281 tanker calls per year for shipping of crude oil products originating from western Canada.
