Abstract/Description or Keywords | This survey had two primary purposes. The first was to acquire ecological information on plant community types occurring in estuaries on the north coast and to create a site classification. The second was to survey and describe a range of estuaries on the north coast, summarizing basic biological and geomorphological information on each estuary and identifying estuaries with particularly high habitat values or presence of rare ecosystems. This document outlines the findings of this survey and includes a proposed ecosystem classification framework for estuarine wetlands, a component of a broader Wetland and Riparian classification (MacKenzie and Banner 2000). This report describes 14 estuarine ecosystem associations and summarizes biological information collected or compiled for 28 estuaries of the central and north coast of B.C. Estuary summaries include resource value ranking and additional information on social, cultural, protection status and development issues. |
