  • Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch 2006-2007
    Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch 2006-2007 DirectoryA guide to community involvement, stewardship, Streamkeepers, and education projects in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory Published by Community Involvement Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch Fisheries and Oceans Canada Suite 200 – 401 Burrard Street Vancouver, BC V6C 3S4 Dear Stewardship Community, This edition of the Stewardship and Community Involvement directory marks our 15th year of publication. We believe this is a useful reference tool, providing a summary of the numerous community-based projects and activities that partner with Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Community Programs. This edition is organized by geographic areas to reflect the area-based management model which Fisheries and Oceans Canada has implemented in the Pacific Region. The future of our world depends upon educating children and young adults. The Stream to Sea education program is strongly supported throughout Pacific Region, with involvement of over 25 part and full-time Education Coordinators, 18 Community Advisors and many educational professionals and volunteers supporting the program. The Stream to Sea program combines oceans and aquatic species education and lessons on marine and freshwater habitat to create a stewardship ethic. The ultimate goal is to have students become aquatic stewards, caring for the environment around them. The Community Advisors dedicate their mission statement to the volunteers and community projects: “Fostering cooperative fisheries and watershed stewardship through education and involvement”. Our Community Advisors work alongside the stewardship community, building partnerships within community. From assisting with mini hatchery programs, policy implementation, to taking an active role in oceans and watershed planning, these staff members are the public face of DFO.

  • 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'.

SUNDAY TRAVEL TIME TO GET AWAY CARALYN CAMPBELL (EDITOR) • 604-605-2784 • [email protected] | TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2011 A28 Fancy a magical mystery tour? B.C. COAST: A maze of islands to amaze you aboard a ship that keeps changing its mind MICHAEL MCCARTHY SPECIAL TO THE PROVINCE “We have three different trips we do on this ship,” says Captain Phillipe Menetrier, easing back the throttle at the bridge of the MV Aurora Explor- er. “This is the Discovery Islands trip we are on. We also go north as far as Kingcome Inlet and then we have something we call a ‘mystery cruise.’ But since our freight sched- ule can change from hour to hour, in fact they are all mystery trips.” The captain eases the Aurora up onto a white sand beach and lowers the front-loading ramp so passen- gers can amble ashore to stretch their legs. Here at the far eastern tip of Bute Inlet, grizzly bears may also roam the beaches, so passengers don’t wander far. Snow-covered mountain peaks tower 2,000 metres as far as the eye can see, and silt-laden emerald green waters lap gently at the shore. If this isn’t heaven, it’s sure not far away. “We have to pick up some wire cable at a logging camp, but we have to wait for a higher tide to dock,” says Mene- trier, bringing out charts to show the passengers, “so we simply relax.
