Fraser River Action Plan 3rd Research Workshop Abstract The Fraser River Action Plan (FRAP) is a seven-year ecosystem based initiative. Initially, it was managed jointly by the Department of the Environment (DOE) and the Department of Fisheries and Ocean (DFO). DFO’s primary concern is with rebuilding salmon stocks and protecting fish habitat. Environment Canada’s focus is on wildlife habitat, cleaning up the ecosystem and determining the environmental quality or the health of the river as well as building the framework for a management program to ensure the basin’s sustainability. DFO is delivering FRAP results in March, 1997 while DOE will complete FRAP initiatives in March, 1998. In the quest to increase the scientific understanding of the Fraser basin, DOE’s Environmental Quality Program supports a research network comprised of scientists from federal, provincial and university research communities. Ongoing research projects focus on: (1) The basin-wide assessment of pollution impact on aquatic quality; (2) The assessment of environmental impacts of specific pollution sources; (3) The chemical criteria development; and, (4) Ecosystems objectives development. To facilitate the review and examination of the progress of each project, Environment Canada sponsors an annual workshop. In preparation for the 1996 workshop, the research partners were asked to present information summarizing their projects, justifying the research, explaining what results have been obtained to date and to contribute to the process of “planning for the delivery of results.” During the workshop, discussion was encouraged in support of the development of a management perspective regarding future decisions and to identify information gaps which could direct future research activities. The 1996 workshop was organized into six sector- and/or geographical-based sessions including: (1) Pulp Mill Effluent Issues; (2) Transport and Sedimentation of Contaminants; (3) Urban Issues; (4) Agricultural Issues; (5) Biological Indicators; and, (6) Estuary Issues. The workshop was held on February 20-22, 1996 in Vancouver and it is the material presented there, as well as any additional supporting submissions that is the subject of this report. Acknowledgments Environment Canada would like to acknowledge the support of C. Gray, J. Culp, G. Lawrence, K. Hall, H. Schreier, T. Tuominen and P. Harrison who acted as chairs of workshop sessions, as well as all the speakers and participants for their contribution by providing abstracts, papers and presentation summaries. The professional editing services of Roegan Lloydd of Gordon Enterprises and Rory Steiman of Rory Steiman & Associates is also gratefully acknowledged. Page xv
