Tatshenshini River Ten Year Monitoring Report Prepared
Tatshenshini River Ten Year Monitoring Report Prepared for: Yukon Parks Department of Environment Government of Yukon Whitehorse, Yukon Prepared by: Bruce K. Downie PRP Parks: Research & Planning Whitehorse, Yukon Purpose of the Report The Tatshenshini River was designated as a Canadian Heritage River in 2004. The Canadian Heritage River System requires regular monitoring of the natural, heritage and recreational values underpinning each designation. This report presents the results of the ten year review of the river values and key elements of the management strategies for the Yukon portion of the Tatshenshini watershed. The report also points out which characteristics and qualities of the designated river have been maintained as well as the activities and management actions that have been implemented to ensure the continued integrity of the river’s values. And, finally, the report also highlights issues that require further attention in order to maintain the heritage values of the designation. On the basis of these findings, the report assesses the designation status of the Tatshenshini River within the Canadian Heritage River System. Acknowledgements Thanks are due to the those individuals consulted through this analysis and especially to the dedicated individuals in Yukon and First Nations governments who continue to work towards the protection of the natural and cultural values and the wilderness recreational opportunities of the Tatshenshini River. Appreciation is also extended to Parks Canada and the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board Secretariat for their assistance and financial support of this review.

A Family Float Trip Down the Yukon River by John Morton
Refuge Notebook • Vol. 10, No. 39 • October 17, 2008 A family float trip down the Yukon River by John Morton the Yukon Quest. But it’s equally challenging when young kids are involved and you’re worried about making sure they’re having fun and are SAFE. This is a tall order when they’re inhaling mosquitoes, pad- dling through water as cold as ice with big hydraulics or camping in bear country. Our “wilderness” trip got a rocky start as we passed a sign below Whitehorse that cautioned about treated effluent being discharged into the river. Sev- eral miles below town we ran into a grocery cart stick- ing out of a muddy bar in a bend on the river. As we paddled across the 30-mile long Lake Lebarge, made famous by Robert Service’s poetic celebration of the Cremation of Sam McGee, we saw abundant signs of humans everywhere: tent sites, rusted cans, old cables, and broken glass. But gradually these modern archaeological arti- facts disappear as we get into dining on grayling and wild onions further down the river.

In this chapter, these elements are com- bined into the Mackenzie–Ellesmerian Composite TSE. The history of the area includes early extensional faulting and subsidence in the Mackenzie Trough, passive-margin deposition across the Mackenzie–Peel Platform, local uplift and erosion along the Keele Arch, subsidence and deposition in the Ellesmerian Foreland, possible minor folding during the Ellesmerian Orogeny, and folding and faulting in Cretaceous– Eocene time associated with the development of the Canadian Cordillera. Recorded petroleum discoveries are within Cambrian sandstone (Mount Clark Formation), Devonian carbonate strata (Ramparts and Fort Norman formations) and Devonian shale (Canol Formation). Addi- tional oil and gas shows are documented from Cambrian–Silurian carbonate units (Franklin Mountain and Mount Kindle formations), Devo- nian carbonate units (Arnica, Landry and Bear Rock formations) and Late Devonian–Early Carboniferous siliciclastic units (Imperial and Tuttle formations). Petroleum exploration activity within the area has occurred in several phases since 1920, most of it associated with the one producing oilfield at Norman Wells. -

Observations of Freeze-Up and Break-Up of the Yukon River At
JOURNAL OF GLACIOLOGY OBSERVATIONS OF FREEZE-UP AND BREAK-UP OF THE YUKON R I V ERA T BE A V E R, ALASKA* By JOHN R. WILLIAMS (U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C.) ABSTRACT. Observations of faU freeze-up and spring break-up, important to subarctic hydrology and to local economy, were made at the Yukon River town of Beaver, Alaska, September 1949 to June 1950. On October IS, witb river temperature at 0° C., the freezing together of floating ice crystals formed thin icc pans that gradually thickened. Falling river level and increasingly heavy icc concentration choked off all but main channels. On 2S October ice jammed downstream and produced a continuous ice cover and a temporary rise of about I m. at Beaver. After 26 October the river resumed its drop in level until April. Freeze-up appears governed by local channel, current and weather conditions and lacks systen1atic progression either upstream or downstream. Spring thaw beginning in late i>\pril tha\ved sno\\.' cover and weakened river ice. In early ~tay the river began to rise sl()\.vly, but at an increasing rate, untll 13 IVlay when ice ,vas nearly free frorn shore. On 14 :\rIay, after a risc of about 3 m. in 24 hours, the icc broke and moved downstream as the flood crest passed Beaver. Downstream progression of break-up is delayed by local ice jams, the chief cause of disastrous river floods, and is advanced hy early break-up of large tributaries. ZVSAMMENFASSUNG.

Brief Presentation to the House of Common's Standing Committee On
Brief Presentation to the House of Common’s Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans on the Impact of the Rapid Increase of the Striped Bass in The Miramichi River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence BY: John Bagnall, Chair, Fisheries Committee, the New Brunswick Salmon Council DATE: March 4, 2019 The New Brunswick Salmon Council (the NBSC) is an Atlantic salmon conservation coalition comprised of 25 fish & game, environmental and First Nations organizations. A large majority of the members of our component organizations are primarily Atlantic salmon sport fishery participants and proponents, and they view wild salmon conservation as a means to achieve better recreational fishing results. Many also fish for other species, and support the establishment and maintenance of “good” fishing for species such as striped bass, brook trout, and smallmouth bass as well as salmon. As an introduction, the following is an explanation of the differences between recreationally fishing for Atlantic salmon and striped bass, and a discussion of what differentiates “good” from “bad” fishing for each. Fishing for “bright” Atlantic salmon (as opposed to post-spawned “black” salmon or kelts) is not for the impatient. Sea-run Atlantic salmon sport fishing in eastern Canada is conducted only by means of fly-fishing, a technique that takes patience for an angler to rise above even the level of ineptitude. “Bright” salmon are on their spawning run, and in fresh water do not feed. Therefore, even when employing proper fly-fishing techniques, it can be extremely difficult for anglers, to hook them. Salmon fishing occurs above the tidal limit in flowing water. -
New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan
New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture December 14 2007 Executive Summary The New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture (NB-EHJV) was established in 1989 to implement the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) in New Brunswick through a partnership of federal, provincial and regional conservation organizations. The NB-EHJV Five Year Implementation Plan to be known as the Plan is an update of the 1989 – 2004 NB Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Implementation Plan. The Plan outlines the current status of wetland habitats and waterfowl populations in New Brunswick and presents waterfowl population goals and habitat conservation targets for the next five years. The Plan is a blueprint for the conservation of important breeding, staging and wintering waterfowl habitat in New Brunswick. It describes the habitat conservation program the NB- EHJV partnership will employ to achieve the waterfowl population objectives, the methods for program assessment and the resource needs. Though this Plan may benefit other bird species, it does not explicitly address the objectives for the other bird Pillars of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI). The Plan will address 15% (1,105 IBP) of the 7,600 IBP population deficit for dabbling ducks (American black duck, Mallard, green-winged teal, ring-necked duck) in NB through the enhancement or restoration of 1,380 hectares of wetlands and the active management of 13,901 hectares of wetlands to optimum waterfowl brood rearing conditions. A nest box program will be used to increase wood duck and common goldeneye.
