Kouchibouguac National Park staff initiated an angler survey & creel census in 1990. Objectives of this project were to gather demographic data on the anglers, determine fishing effort at various locations, calculate catch per hour for individual anglers & the catch per species, and determine age, length, & weight of individual fish. Anglers were interviewed during the 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1996 fishing seasons using a roving staff method. This report describes the application of the roving creel census technique to early season recreational trout fisheries in two major river systems & several brooks within the park. Study results & conclusions are presented and some recommendations are made regarding future surveys. A copy of the angler survey questionnaire is included.
Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) seeks to overcome the weaknesses inherent in conventional project-focused environmental assessment by expanding the spatial and temporal boundaries of the assessment. In this study, the assessment boundaries include the six broad systems contained in Kouchibouguac National Park, New Brunswick, as well as the park as a whole and land outside but adjacent to park boundaries. The first section is a brief overview of cumulative effects, CEA, and the CEA approach used in the study. The second section introduces the park's natural and cultural resources along with the natural changes occurring within the park. The third section reviews legislation, policy, and plants guiding park management in order to identify the goals and targets critical for focusing the study and for evaluating the importance of effects. The fourth section describes past, present, and proposed projects and activities in the park and region and their environmental effects. The final section identifies important cumulative effects issues and discusses the importance of these effects.
This volume is a compilation of current research papers on the aquatic ecosystem of the Miramichi River in New Brunswick. The papers are organized in four sections: historical overview, the physical environment, the biological environment, and evaluating human impacts. Specific topics of the papers include the estuarine structure of the river, hydrology of the drainage basin, plankton, diadromous fish, estuary sediments, forestry impacts, and biological indicators. The volume also includes a summary and selected abstracts from the Miramichi Environmental Science Workshop held in Newcastle in 1994.
As a result of the consumption of wildland by the demands of a growing world human population, parks and other protected areas are becoming increasingly important. The role of science in the effective management of such areas is a critical consideration if protected areas are to serve their several functions as recreational areas, heritage and educational resources, wildlife refuges, natural repositories of endangered species, reference sites for scientific research, and sites set aside simply for their intrinsic natural value as wilderness. In this volume strategies to combat accelerating decline in global biodiversity are put forward. Legal protection requires explicit strategies for the management of natural systems, such as the scientific approach to land use planning and reserve selection and design. Science should play an essential role in assisting in the definition of strategic objectives and providing means for the realization of those objectives. The natural systems requiring protection are dynamic and management objectives are of necessity very long term.Science and the Management of Protected Areas provides a wealth of information on floral and faunal management, global change research, water quality, human impacts and tourism. It is the first book ever to bring together the perspectives of both environmental scientists and the administrative managers of protected areas and, as such, it will be useful to both the scientific community and to Land Managers.
