| Abstract/Description or Keywords | Lakelse Lake, near Terrace, B.C., is one of 28 sockeye rearing lakes in the Skeena River watershed. Since the mid 1990’s, sockeye escapements (spawners) into Lakelse Lake, as well as the number of juveniles rearing in the lake itself, have fallen precipitously. Current information suggests the major problem is poor spawning success in the tributary streams primarily related to degraded spawning habitat. In the fall of 2003, concerned local stakeholders, First Nations, and provincial and federal governmental agencies began to jointly review available information, evaluate options, and identify activities for recovering Lakelse Lake sockeye. This document is the result of that process and is intended as a framework for moving forward. A companion document: Conserving Lakelse Fish and their Habitat: Lakelse Watershed Backgrounder (Skeena Fisheries Commission 2003) should be referenced for further information. |
