Nanaimo River chinook salmon recovery plan habitat assessment report / by D.R. Clough.: Fs97-17/59E-PDF

"This study was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) for the collection of habitat information and recovery strategies related to the Recovery Potential for the Nanaimo Spring Run Chinook, which COSEWIC has designated as Endangered. … The Urban Salmon Habitat Assessment (USHP) methodology was used to measure the habitat condition in representative reach areas throughout the watershed. The report presents a ranked summary of fish and riparian habitat characteristics of reach segments of Nanaimo River. It summarizes the current health of the stream, provides comparison to other streams on Vancouver Island and guidance on recovery and protection of the vital stream habitats"--Introduction, page 1.
