Progress report : Squamish River Estuary morphological survey.: En37-536/1976E-PDF

"In 1972, a Task Force, known as the "Squamish Task Force" was established within the Department of the Environment, Pacific Region, to study the effects of a proposed coal port development by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway near the town of Squamish. This development would occur around the Namquam channel in the estuary. The concern on the part of the Depar tment of the Environment was the effects such a development would have on the Squamish River estuary which has an active, growing delta of prime importance to the anadromous fisheries. This report presents the methods used and the results obtained from morphological surveys conducted on the Squamish River estuary in November of 1973 and October of 1974"--Preface.
