5203 |a"An inventory of the marine foreshore fish habitat characteristics of Sooke Harbour and Basin was conducted to aid in the evaluation and planning of future foreshore development. Biophysical traits of the backshore, intertidal, and subtidal zones were assessed visually by walking, snorkelling, boating and/or diving. Sixty-two reaches within the Inlet are described in detail, based on substrate and/or vegetation composition. The location of major eelgrass and kelp beds, which are important fish habitat areas, is also reported. To further examine the significance of fish habitat within Sooke Inlet, benthic invertebrate samples collected from two representative substrates (silt/mud and gravel/cobble) are analyzed and salmonid escapement, herring spawn and shellfish harvest data are presented. In addition, human use of the foreshore is described from records provided by the Provincial Ministry of Lands and Parks and from visual observations made during the survey. In light of increasing development pressure, concentrated mainly in Sooke Harbour, recommendations are given for the protection and maintenance of the highly productive fish habitat within the Inlet"--Abstract, page vi.
