Summary: The objectives of this project are: 1) to study the freshwater ecology, hydrology, and hydraulics of small lakes and streams in the Lac de Gras basin before habitat modification; 2) to monitor the changes in ecosystem productive capacity resulting from habitat modifications designed to increase habitat connectivity and fish passage; and 3) to assess the effectiveness of such habitat modifications ...

Summary: This research will characterize baseline and post-baseline conditions in the lakes and streams near areas of current and pending mining activity. This will be the 11th year of post-baseline data collected in the Koala Watershed and the 8th year of post-baseline data collected in the King-Cujo Watershed as a part of EKATI’s Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program. It will also be the 10th year of monito...

Summary: Consistent with the DFO authorization, the major objectives of this study are to: 1) to provide annual documentation of shoal habitat use by Lake Trout in the vicinity of the mine site. FA Clause 8.1.3 2) to ground truth hydroacustic equipment by capturing fish to identify species, collect life history data, tag, and then release As stated in the Authorization for Works or Undertakings Affec...

Summary: Baseline studies in the Gahcho Kue (Kennady Lake) area, in conjunction with the DeBeers Gahcho Kue Diamond Mine Project, have been ongoing since 1998. AMEC Earth and Environmental has been contracted by DeBeers to conduct these studies. This year, independent of the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board's regulatory requirements*, two studies are planned to be conducted in the project...

Principal Investigator: Thomas, Craig J
Licensed Year(s): 2000
Summary: This is a preliminary fisheries study to confirm 1989 baseline studies and to assist in impact assessment for Abandonment and Restoration (A & R) Plan for site closure. The researchers will conduct habitat assessments along drainages of Steeves Lake and Indin River (i.e. fish habitat mapping, assessment of habitat potential, 'spot check' confirmation of fish communities, the collection of instant...

Principal Investigator: Reed, Shawna
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researchers will be utilizing the following techniques for assessing aquatic biota and fish habitat utilization: gillnetting (various sizes and meshes), trapnetting (mark-recapture program), minnow-trapping and electroshocking (backpack model). A select number of fish will also be retained for aging (using otoliths), tissue metals concentration and diet analysis....

Principal Investigator: Ash, Gary R.
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993 1992
Summary: The researchers will be conducting surveys in the areas south and east of Coppermine in order to provide basic information about the fish species and habitat. This study is being conducted on behalf of Minnova Inc. in order to provide information in monitoring the impacts of development in the area....

Principal Investigator: Matthews, Steven
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The project will evaluate airborne RADAR data as well as Landsat TM and SPOT satellite data to distinguish vegetation cover types of the tundra near Baker Lake. Detailed vegetation surveys will be carried out in the field. The data will be used to classify vegetation cover types and in accuracy assessment. Wildlife habitat types will be based on the resultant classification and produced as mapped ...
