Summary: The main objective of the program is to collect fisheries and environmental baseline information to better understand the environmental characteristics of the Great Bear River and to support potential future development of hydropower on the Great Bear River. The program is not being conducted to support a specific project as there are no hydropower projects planned for the Great Bear River at thi...

Summary: Objectives of the aquatics studies are to determine fish presence/absence, characterize habitat and add to data collected in a similar programme in 2006. The objective of the water-quality sampling is to continue collection of data in streams and tributaries which flow through the project area. Hydrometric monitoring will enhance the flow history of streams down-gradient of the site. The objective...

Summary: While data collected during the Environmental Impact Assessment studies (carried out in conjunction with the proposed construction and operation of the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline) are relatively comprehensive in describing the major physical-chemical features of the aquatic environment, they are lacking in the descriptions of the biological features of these environments, and as a consequence, their s...

Summary: The Bosworth Creek Project was initiated when the Sahtu Renewable Resources Board received a request for information on fish stocks in the creek by a local resident. The resident expressed concern over the apparent lack of certain species that were present on Bosworth Creek prior to the damming of the creek. Recent restoration efforts have presented a unique opportunity for training local youth in...

Summary: Community Monitoring of the Big Fish River is a new project being led by the Fisheries Joint Management Committee and the West Side Working Group. The project at the Big Fish River will include habitat and water quality surveys, traditional knowledge research and integration, discussions of the implications of changing environmental conditions, and Inuvialuit health and culture, including diet an...

Summary: In 1999, the Northwest Territories Power Corporation was awarded a 25 year water licence to operate its three hydroelectric plants on the Snare River. Conditions of this water licence included that two studies be done by the Corporation. The first study is an assessment addressing the removal of minimum flow requirements on two of the dams. This study will include a current assessment of fish a...

Summary: The proposed field program is designed to provide site-specific information on stream crossings, for planned improvements to the Mackenzie Valley winter road route. Researchers will travel to the crossing sites by helicopter from the closest community. At each crossing location, habitat assessments, water quality samples and fish census techniques (outlined in the DFO fisheries research permit) m...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect information about a variety of ecosystems contained by or in close proximity to the potential well sites for a proposed natural gas development. Fisheries and water quality studies will involve a survey of fish habitat, and of the water quality of any water bodies in the proposed development area. Any fish collection will be outlined by Department of Fisher...

Principal Investigator: Melton, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 1999
Summary: The overall goal of this project is to conduct preliminary baseline studies at Paramount Resources proposed gas well sites in the Fort Liard area. The wildlife program will begin with of a literature review to identify previously identified wildlife populations in the area. Fisheries and water quality studies will involve a survey of fish habitat, and of the water quality of any water bodies in th...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to collect information about a variety ecosystems crossed by or in close proximity to the potential routes for a proposed pipeline. Fisheries and water quality studies will involve a survey of fish habitat, and of the water quality of any water bodies allong the proposed routes. Any fish collection will be outlined by Department of Fisheries and Oceans research permits...
