Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The potential impacts of development on fish habitat have been a concern in the Cottonwood, Caiboo and Horsefly watersheds for many years. Forest development has been a particular concern due to the amount of the land-base that is distributed. The purpose of this inventory of watershed conditions with respect to fish habitat risks for the watersheds is to provide an objective data-base that can be used by the agencies (Ministry of Forests, BC Environment, Department of Fisheries and Oceans) and the forest licensees to address these issues. aquatic habitat, fish habitat, forest management, forest harvest, road, erosion, sediment |
