"In 2005, Canada introduced the Wild Salmon Policy (WSP) to lay out a framework for the conservation and sustainable use of wild Pacific salmon. It identifies six strategies to incorporate habitat and ecosystem considerations into salmon management and to establish local collaborative planning and management efforts throughout British Columbia. Strategy 2 of the WSP is to use indicators and benchmarks of habitat status to evaluate and monitor habitat condition, the results of which will identify four key points of information to guide management: 1) high-value salmon habitats that require protection; 2) habitat constraints that are adversely affecting productivity; 3) areas where habitat restoration or rehabilitation could restore or enhance productivity; and 4) data gaps that may be investigated. For the last decade, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has been funding detailed assessments of watershed habitat status on Vancouver Island, in accordance with Strategy 2 of the WSP. This report presents the results of the Strategy 2 habitat status assessment for the Nanaimo River watershed. …"--Introduction, page 1. Pacific salmon Habitat British Columbia Nanaimo River.
