Squamish River Watershed Background Report
Summary
The Squamish River Watershed Background Report was prepared to provide background information to support the Squamish River Watershed Fisheries Sustainability Forum, which was held in Squamish, B.C., in November, 1997. The report was prepared by Hatfield Consultants Ltd. and summarizes the available information on the Squamish River Watershed. Included is information on watershed characteristics, land tenure, urban development trends, First Nations involvement in fisheries management, fisheries resources (including salmon spawning escapements, freshwater habitat issues, and estuary issues), and key contacts. As such, the report provided forum participants with a common understanding of the issues and concerns in the Squamish River Basin and, hence, a basis for engaging in work group discussions on fisheries sustainability.
