Satellite Channel ER Purpose Statement
SATELLITE CHANNEL ECOLOGICAL RESERVE Purpose Statement: Ecological reserves are areas selected to preserve representative and special natural ecosystems, plant and animal species, features and phenomena. The key goal of ecological reserves is to contribute to the maintenance of biological diversity and the protection of genetic materials. All consumptive resource uses and the use of motorized
Independent Assessment of Satellite Channel Ecological Reserve #067: With Respect to the GSX Pipeline
Satellite Channel Ecological Reserve #067 (ER67), located between Saltspring Island and Saanich Peninsula, was designated in 1975 to conserve rich benthic communities typical of fine-grained, level-bottom environments in the southern Gulf Islands (Figure 1). Under the Ecological Reserve Act, industrial uses are prohibited in ecological reserves (ER) to protect the environmental values associated with these

Original Purpose: To conserve rich benthic communities typical of fine-grained, level bottom environments in the southern Gulf of Georgia’ Physical: The reserve consists only of sea floor habitat. Most of the width of Satellite Channel is included, the northern boundary coming within 200 m of the Salt Spring Island shoreline at Cape Keppel, the southern
