Ecological Reserves and BC’s Nesting Seabirds : ER Proposal- Campbell 1976

Wayne Campbell proposed these reserves  and gave reasons about the uniqueness of the Bird Colonies. Thirteen species of true seabirds nest in BC. These include two storm petrels, three cormorants a gull and seven auks. The total breeding population estimation is 550,000 pairs. This is an Ecological Reserve  proposal for  three sets of islands:

The Pine/Tree Storm Islands, now ER #120
the Byers/Conroy/Harvey/Sinnett Islands ,  now # 103

The third, Thomas Island, now part of off Checlesset Bay ER #109
