A difference in velocity occurs between the two layers that acts against the mixing tendency of tide- and wind-induced turbulence. iv George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project Technical Volume – Fish and Fish Habitat Study Term Definition smolt A young salmon that first migrates from freshwater to the sea.

A review of the available information and the state of knowledge pertaining to fish and fish habitat in the study area was undertaken. Field studies were undertaken in 2014 to supplement and update existing information. This appendix provides a synthesis of the literature review and 2014 field studies. A summary of study components, objectives, and scope is provided in Table 1-1.

The state-of-the-art facility was unveiled on Sunday 3 April during a special community event that included skating demonstrations, local musicians and children’s activities. Designed by a local designer with input by the local skating fraternity, the skate park, which has been built to national and international scale, will have the potential to host major competitions. It includes an international standard competition street course and bowl, and a stage to be used for the council’s Carols by Candlelight and other events. Clarence Mayor Doug Chipman said it was exciting to see the skate park finally come to fruition after working with young members of the commu- nity, the skating fraternity and sporting groups.
