Fish were once so abundant in BC waters that Indigenous elders recall dried salmon being stacked like firewood behind the stove. But declines on the BC coast have accelerated over the last century, with marine wildlife cut in half in just four decades. Protecting the Coast and Ocean explores how we can reverse such precipitous declines. This meticulous work catalogues not only Canadian laws and designations – marine protected areas, Indigenous protected and conserved areas, land-use measures, and zoning bylaws – but also international treaties that shape marine conservation and support collaboration. The authors analyze and compare legal tools, rating their strengths and weaknesses. In-depth case studies illustrate how each instrument has been used in practice. Despite the impact of climate change, overfishing, and pollution, Protecting the Coast and Ocean convincingly demonstrates that legal tools are available to reverse species extinction and plan for a resilient ocean.

This report evaluates the biophysical suitability for net-cage salmon farming of nearshore areas on the British Columbia coast between Vancouver Island and the mainland. The base biophysical information was obtained by interviews with patrol officers and specialist scientists, as well as by reviewing library information and file data. Data on 16 biophysical criteria important to net-cage rearing of salmonids were compiled on base maps and each criterion was assigned a ranking from good to not acceptable for fish farming. The report includes a general oceanographic overview of the study area, a description of the study methodology and data compilation methods used, comments on the criteria used for rating the capability of salmon farming areas, and detailed descriptions and appraisals of the biophysical environments of the waterways evaluated. Areas requiring additional field investigations are also listed.
The Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Northwest Coast of America tells of the heroic endeavors and remarkable achievements, the endless speculation about a northwest passage, and the fighting and manipulation for commercial advantage that surrounded this terrain. This is done through an introductory essay, a detailed chronology, an extensive bibliography, modern maps and selected historical maps and drawings, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries.
This book deals with the physical aspects of the sea as exemplified by the Pacific Ocean and the contiguous waters of the British Columbia coast. Although principally devoted to waves, currents and tides, the book spans a broad spectrum of topics ranging from meteorology and marine biology to past and present marine geology. It attempts to elucidate the nature of oceanic motions and to relate them to everyday experience for the general interest of the casual reader and for the practical benefit of the professional mariner, scientist, or engineer.
Vernacular Architecture in the Codroy Valley is the story of a small Newfoundland community as told through its buildings. From adding on a kitchen to constructing a completely new house, the way people build and change their homes says a great deal about their lives, past and present. Richard MacKinnon`s insights into the stories revealed by the buildings of the Codroy Valley will have you looking at the buildings in your own community in a whole new way.
