Book Description
British Columbia¿s Skeena River is one of the great salmon rivers of the North Pacific. The river and its fish have supported indigenous peoples for thousands of years. More recently, the Skeena has earned world renown for its recreational fishery and magnificent wilderness setting. Yet, over the last century, fish populations have declined from overfishing, habitat alteration and, to an unknown degree, climate change. Development of mining as well as oil and gas resources may also pose threats to fish populations.This book presents the first thorough review of the salmon stocks and freshwater species of the Skeena River. Initial chapters summarize the river¿s environment, fish, and fisheries. The book then examines the physical geography, development history, indigenous use, and major salmon stocks of each of the watershed¿s sub-basins. This volume makes available for the first time¿to researchers, field biologists, fishermen and natural history enthusiasts¿both the published, and largely unpublished, literature on this productive salmon ecosystem.

Book Description
The history of British Columbia's transportation systems north of the Canadian National Railway's mainline may not be well known--but it certainly is colourful. Continuing the story he began in the first volume of Carving the Western Path, R.G. Harvey describes the development of river, road and rail routes that crossed the northern two-thirds of BC. This was a land of dreams and schemes that seemed to feed on each other. It started with the Collins Overland Telegraph, a communication link that was to connect Europe and America in the 1860s. Though this plan collapsed with the success of the trans-Atlantic cable, the telegraph surveyors established patterns for future roads and settlement. They also sparked the Omineca gold rush. It was a land full of larger-than-life characters, including: Charles Hays, who dreamed of a major seaport at Prince Rupert but died on the Titanic before he could realize his vision. Charles Bedaux, who in the 1930s carved his 416-mile path into the northern Rockies. Railway promoters Warburton Pike, Sir Edward Phillipps-Wolley, William Mackenzie and Donald Mann, who got gifts of land and money but couldn't always meet their promises. Their stories mingle with those of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the Alaska Highway, the White Pass and Yukon Railway and those of the sternwheelers, fur traders, gold miners and other adventurers who were drawn to this last frontier.

Book Description
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the geological framework of the Western Cordillera and especially to contribute to the Coast Mountains Project by providing control information on the natural cross-section afforded by the valley of the Skeena River. A key goal of this project has been to seek field evidence that could contribute to a better understanding of the origin and evolution of the plutonic rocks.

Book Description
In late 1988, the Ministry undertook fish habitat works at three site on the Skeena River to compensate for riparian vegetagion losses which resulted from the re-construction of Highway 16 east of Prince Rupert. The three sites were protected by rock spurs. At one site, the existing foreshore was elevated and planted with donor vegetation from unimpacted nearby marshes. After completion, natural deposition, induced by the rock spurs, caused further vegetative losses. Since 1994, there has been an increase in vegetated habitat in all three sites. This is attributed to the sites reaching a more stable state in the fluvial environment and a subsequent increase in natural recolonization at the sites. The project is expected to reach a No Net Loss state through foreshore vegetation in 1999 and to ultimately return more vegetative habitat than was lost.
