Shoreline vegetation maps of some major herring spawning localities on the west coast of Vancouver Island : Nuchatlitz, Nootka Sound, Hesquiat Harbour, and Barkley Sound / by Carl W. Haegele and Mary Jo...: Fs97-4/1430E-PDF
Maps of shoreline vegetation for the purpose of recording and assessing herring spawnings were prepared for the Nuchatlitz area including Port Langford, the western portion of the entrance to Nootka Sound, all of Hesquiat Harbour, and the western coastline of Barkley Sound. The vegetation was mapped by five major types as identified from their spectral reflective characteristics on large format vertical aerial colour infrared and colour photographs: sea grasses, rockweed, red algae, brown algae, and green algae. Each of the 15 charts were reduced from photoscales between 1:6000 and 1:3600 to page size at scales between 1:22000-1:9000.
