Abstract/Description or Keywords Coastal watersheds are large producers of forest
products and salmonid fishes in British Columbia.
Coastal valleys contain all the “good” (3.3%) and the
“medium” (33%) industrial forest land of the
Vancouver and Prince Rupert forest regions (B.C.
Ministry of Forests 1980). Five species of Pacific
salmon and two species of trout use the rivers and
smaller streams of these forest regions. Two studies
of forest harvesting impacts on salmonids were
initiated to address concerns relevant to both regions:
the Fish/Forestry Interaction Program on the Queen
Charlotte Islands in 1978 and the Carnation Creek
project on Vancouver Island in 1970.
