Summary: Several stream crossings along the #1 and #7 highways are expected to be suitable candidates for habitat compensation. Aquatic habitat assessments and fish collections at selected stream crossings need to be conducted to confirm fish species presence or absence upstream and downstream of the crossings, to assess habitat conditions and to evaluate fish passage to assist in the development of a fis...

Summary: Objectives of this research will be to confirm the presence or absence of fish habitat at stream crossings associated with the Prairie Creek Winter Access Road alignment and if present document fish habitat characteristics (physical). The information will support documentation requirements for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans relating to the Fisheries Act and the potential need for a Fisheri...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect biological information from both the control sites and the treatment sites within Matthews Lake and the surrounding area. The objective is to monitor these sites and collect enough information to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2004 habitat enhancement and construction activities. Field crews will fly to Matthews Lake, landing either on the runway or th...
