Exploitation
rate to vary with run size and timing (pre-season management plan)--- Early
expectation was 2M
|
|
|
Looking at
Exploitation rates |
|
|
|
|
I am using data
from Skeena Wild report INTERCEPTION
OF SKEENA RIVER SOCKEYE SALMON STOCKS IN NORTHERN BOUNDARY MARINE
FISHERIES By William J. Gazey—my graphs etc Exploitation
rates were much higher during big runs of late 1990s – but good times for
Commercial coastal fisheries threaten weaker Skeena river stocks |
The
Problem with fishing Sockeye with unselective gillnets etc – as that the
enhanced Babine run is accompanied with much weaker wild stocks --- thus one
might fish the Babine stock at 35%, but inadvertently hit the similar time
running but very weak Kitwanga stock at 52% (Mid Skeena above Fiddler on above graph) -- thus
driving all the weaker stocks into eventual extinction --- Ditto the once
plentiful Morice run – which may have been depleted from logging etc |
|
Must have
made a wrong turn back there |
Deer ‘lost’
on 2nd Avenue |
|
Was
later in evening – but everyone seemed to accept it – no honking etc ---
young buck did not seem ‘frightened’ – more mildly concerned |
|
|
No sense of
Community |
|
This
tourist bicycler ‘picnicked’ in shade of local supermarket --- had bought
numerous items inside which were spread out on cement – hopefully he cleaned
up – I saw another tourist with Alberta plates urinating in front of his truck
in another supermarket’s parking lot --- I take it these people have no sense
of community – just passing through – ‘don’t care’ |
|
|
Quite common
this time of year – I (mistakenly) thought would be easy to ID |
|
|
|
Note
the white milky substance from leaf – an ID character along with the ‘woolly’
leaf etc Below
– the weed seems unable to withstand mowing – thus unmowed at park – versus
mowed
|
Introduced
weedy flower – needs more work as numerous spp |
|
Part of the
ID depends upon structure of individual ‘achenes’ – more later |
|
|
Mysteries |
|
Why
some places have been rezoned – say to C3 as red which seems to be part of a
sports store – drawings unclear at first (see below) And
why McBride down to 6th Avenue is now C1 – one wonders How and why
--- needs more discussion |
|
|
Very Complex
and needs more review |
|
This
is a from a zoning map with overlays form City Site Here
it looks like the questioned red C3 was previously a C4 (not shown) and
presumably no longer met the criteria --- in the example left many C11, C12,
etc also became C3 etc (thus the reduction in categories etc) --- but what
needs more attention are things like McBride down to 6th Avenue is
now all C1 Not
sure this makes sense – and potentially is a ‘gift’ to anyone selling
property --- needs more discussion etc |

From City Info package
|
|
Enbridge: The Marine
Discussion Guide summarizes the components and studies related to the Kitimat Terminal
and marine transportation—page has links to each section Info package is good to watch as City often gets public
info that does not make its way into the media – putting this on WWW was one
of the innovations of the Pond era -- -- Go to City Web site and then to Council etc |
