High-Value Sockeye Habitat in the Skeena Watershed: data compilation and mapping
Much information on Skeena salmon habitat currently exists, but not in an integrated or easily-accessible format. This project compiled existing data about Skeena sockeye freshwater habitat in order to create an integrated, accessible data collection that can be expended over time. The data is presented in several formats:
- an annotated bibliography;
- a poster-sized 1:450,000 map of the entire watershed;
- an atlas of 1:50,000 maps that each depicts the spawning and rearing locations of a single lake-type conservation unit;
- an information poster (shown below – copies can be obtained by emailing skeena@psf.ca);
- and a collection of GIS shapefiles, which can be obtained on DVD free of charge by emailing skeena@psf.ca.
- project objectives
- Compile existing data about Skeena sockeye freshwater habitat and make this data available in a variety of formats suitable to different audiences.
