Physical: The reserve is located near the dissected southwestern edge of the Thompson Plateau in the Similkameen River watershed. Regional soils are predominantly developed on glacial drift. The reserve straddles a low east-west oriented ridge and so has both southerly and northerly exposed slopes. Mean annual precipitation has been only slightly higher than that recorded

Recently, several Important Bird Areas were
D.F. Bertram, T. Golumbia, G.K. Davoren, A. Harfenist, and J. Brown Abstract: To investigate the utility of short visits to seabird colonies to gauge nestling growth performance and diet, in 4 consecutive years (1995–1998) we measured nestling development and diet of Rhinoceros Auklets (Cerorhinca monocerata) at three colonies in British Columbia: Seabird Rocks, Triangle Island,
Abstract The creation of a marine protected area in British Columbia is a political process that must reconcile the wants of several jurisdictions and interests. One forum for consultation and reconciliation is a consensus process, where individuals representing differing interests engage in long-term, face-to-face discussions, seeking agreement on strategy, plans, policies, and actions.

We regularly report and record images of branded Sea Lions which haul out at Race Rocks. The images are sent to Pat Gearin of NOAA in the US who identifies the history of the animal which has been part of their research. In this report, there is a photo index of many of those animals
Purpose Statement Primary Role: The primary role of Byers/Conroy/Harvey/Sinnett Islands Ecological Reserve is to protect terrestrial and marine habitats and prevent the disturbance of nesting seabirds and raptors: The only know occurrence of peregrine falcons nesting in trees. Only significant breeding site of tufted puffins along the mainland coast. Seal pupping areas. Extensive kelp reefs

ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect a vulnerable gull nesting colony for research purposes. Physical: Fraser Lake, about 50 km2 in size, drains eastward into the Nechako River. Ellis Island, 600 m from its southern shore, is low and egg-shaped. Much of the surface of this heavily glaciated island is bare rock; where soils are developed they

ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect a highly diverse mosaic of ecosystem types from aquatic, peat bog and forest to dry-site ecosystems. Physical: The reserve comprises gently undulating lowlands formed by glacially scoured rocks of the cretaceous Nanaimo Formation. For the most part the cover of surficial deposits and soils on the NW-SE trending, rounded ridges is
Since the provincial government does not have jurisdiction over fishing, the waters of Race Rocks and some other marine ecological reserves are protected by the Federal government’s Rockfish Conservation Area strategy. This program prevents fishing in the reserve. The problem is that it may not be permanent, so continued protection of all of the organisms

KAMLOOPS — B.C. Parks will be conducting a prescribed burn in Tranquille ecological reserve to restore important habitat and to reduce the risk of a major wildfire. Approximately 60 hectares of the reserve’s 230 hectares will be burned. The prescribed burn will reduce the fuel hazard and potential for an extreme fire, as well as
