This National Film Board film of 1976 profiles Bristol Foster the First Director of the Ecological Reserves Division in British Columbia. It was made shortly after the creation of the Triangle Island – Anne Vallee Ecological Reserve
Original Purpose: To protect large colonies of breeding seabirds and their habitat. It is closed to the public to protect nesting birds and their habitat. A permit is needed to land on the island. It is accessible by boat, but landing is difficult. The island is named after Dr. Daniel Charles Solander, a Swedish botanist
Carina Gjerdrum*†, Anne M. J. Valle ́ e‡§, Colleen Cassady St. Clair*¶ Anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) are associated with interannual and decadal variability as well as with long-term climate changes indicative of global warming. Such oscillations could precipitate changes in a variety of oceanic processes to affect marine species worldwide. As global temperatures continue
Ecological reserves are areas selected to preserve representative and special natural ecosystems, plant and animal species, features and phenomena. The key role 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 vehicles are prohibited. Cleland Island Ecological

MSc, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC. 117 pp. Masters of Science Thesis Abstract I studied the reproductive performance of tufted puffins (Fratercula cirrhata) on Triangle Island, British Columbia during two years when reproduction was successful. Complete reproductive
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

Trudy Carson provided a description of the islands and the bird species. A species list of macrophytes, and Randy Baker has provided a report on annelids. The uniqueness of this reserve and why it was an IBP Area, is that they are a small group of islets with different habitats ( landform and vegetation) features
Original Purpose: To protect colonies of breeding seabirds and their habitat Physical: This is a rugged, elongate island which rises steeply from the sea to a series of pinnacles and humps. The shoreline is rock, rising directly from the water, except for a narrow boulder beach along the northeastern shore. Though steep, most of the
This proposal was submitted in 1978 by Trudy Carson prior to the creation of this reserve . The Kerouard Islands are located between Hecate Strait and the open Pacific Ocean, at the southern-most tip of the Queen Charlotte Islands. Isolated, rugged and extremely wild, these islands and their associated waters provide habitat for multitudes and
This seabird Census was done by Wayne Campbell in 1975/1976
Bristol Foster, Trudy Carson and Martin Lee visited the Kerouard Isalnds and made this report for the BC Provincial Museum, in 1977. ” These islands are the southern most islands on the Queen Charlotte Islands, ( Gwaii Haanas) located south off Kunghit Island and South of St. James Island.”. In these hand-written notes they indicate
Provincial Museum and UBC field parties conducted bird and mammal investigations in Barkley Sound from 1954 to 1970 inclusive. 55 of approx. 55 islands,islets and reefs were visited. Nesting sites of 6 species of sea birds previously unrecorded are lsited. See the complete paper –PDF file: barkley_sound_sea_bird_nesting_sites
