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.

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first time¿to researchers, field biologists, fishermen and natural history enthusiasts¿both the published, and largely unpublished, literature on this productive salmon ecosystem.
