<h2>
Historic protection for BC’s Sacred Headwaters Announced</h2>
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 18 DECEMBER 2012<br />

<strong>Historic protection for BC’s Sacred Headwaters Announced: Major victory in campaign that puts local communities over corporate profit </strong><br />
Coalbed methane development to be permanently banned from headwaters of major salmon rivers VANCOUVER - The B.C. government announced today that Shell would be withdrawing its plans to develop coalbed methane in the Klappan-Groundhog tenure area in northwest British Columbia. The government will also not issue oil and gas tenures in the area in the future.<br />
“Eight years ago, northern B.C. communities joined together to say ‘no’ to coalbed methane and ‘yes’ to wild salmon,” said Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition executive director Shannon McPhail. “Today is an incredible day for residents of the Skeena, Nass, and Stikine watersheds. We are grateful and proud that First Nations and communities from the watersheds came and stood together. The B.C. government and Shell deserve recognition for listening to these communities and making a decision that will protect salmon cultures and livelihoods.”<br />
This region, better known as the Sacred Headwaters, became the source of controversy in 2004, when Shell drilled three test wells in the area. Blockades and public rallies across the northwest ensued in 2005 and 2006. International protests were also held at Royal Dutch Shell headquarters in The Hague. Due to opposition, the Province imposed a moratorium on coalbed methane development in the area in 2008, which was set to expire on December 18.<br />
“Shell has backed away from a project only a handful of times. The powerful, relentless movement led by the courageous Tahltan and supported by nearly 100,000 people from around the world has not only stopped Shell, but persuaded the BC government to permanently protect the region from any further gas development,” said ForestEthics Advocacy senior conservation campaigner Karen Tam Wu. “It’s an inspiring day when communities in northern B.C. can stand up to one of the largest oil companies in the world and win. Congratulations to the Tahltan, and to the citizens and government of British Columbia.”<br />
Highlights of the campaign to protect the Sacred Headwaters include: - International attention on the conflict by generating nearly 100,000 signatures from around the world - Several international actions in the Netherlands - Meeting directly with Shell Canada President - High level government relations - The first ever swim of the entire length of Skeena River.<br />
The Sacred Headwaters is located in northwest British Columbia, about 600 kilometres north of Terrace, B.C. The region is home to a diversity of wildlife, such as grizzly bears, caribou and moose. Shell’s plans would have seen thousands of gas wells and thousands of kilometres of roads built at the headwaters of the Skeena, Nass, and Stikine rivers—three of B.C.’s top salmon-producing rivers. The headwaters were listed on the Outdoor Recreation Council’s Most Endangered Rivers list for the past three years.<br />

ForestEthics Advocacy and Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition would like to thank Clean Energy Canada at Tides Canada for its work to create this solution for the Sacred Headwaters, and for their work building support for a vision of a low-carbon Canadian energy economy.<br />

NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONE. WHILE DRIVING TO THE NEXT SPOT VIA I-80 TODAY, THE STUPID MAGNETIC ROD HOLDER ON THE TRUCK FAILED. THIS GAVE AT LEAST TEN VEHICLES AN OPPORTUNITY TO RUN OVER MY FAVORITE SAGE 6 WEIGHT. LAME!! ALSO LOST TO THE INTERSTATE WAS MY KIDS CABELAS RIG THAT MY GOOD FRIEND ANDY GAVE TO HER FOR HER BIRTHDAY. SOMEHOW THE CHEAP CABELAS REEL SURVIVED AND MY EXPENSIVE LARGE ARBOR DANDY WAS CRUSHED.

<strong>Sportsmen fly to DC to tell president and congress to say no to Pebble Mine</strong><br />
Starting Monday, April 16, more than 30 sportsmen from around the country are traveling to the nation’s capitol to let their elected officials and the president know that protecting Bristol Bay is a top priority for hunters and anglers.<br />
This is an important week to show the folks who have the power to protect Bristol Bay that sportsmen are in this fight. We’ve got folks from Alaska, Montana, Michigan, Colorado, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Texas, Wisconsin, Washington, North Carolina, California, Missouri, New York, and Virginia representing this great country and the millions of people who want Bristol Bay to be protected and left just like it is today–pristine and productive.<br />
A <a href="http://www.sportsmenslink.org/sites/sportsmenslink.org/files/Bright%20Stars%20of%20the%20Economy.pdf">recent report</a> by the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation shows that there are 34 million hunters and anglers in the U.S., and we’re a powerful constituency. Every year, we pump $76 billion into the economy in pursuit of our passion, through our spending on gear, licenses, gas, lodging, meals and more. All of that spending and activity directly supports 1.6 million jobs in this country.<br />
We are also an influential group because 80 percent of sportsmen are likely voters – much higher than the national average. And, we also contribute the most money of any group toward government wildlife conservation programs. So, hopefully if we care about an issue and show our support, the decision makers will listen to what we have to say.<br />
In just a few weeks, the EPA will be releasing a draft of its Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment. This huge scientific assessment will likely guide future decisions about large-scale mining and other industrial development in the Bristol Bay region. If they find that disposal of waste from the mine would adversely harm the surrounding clean waters or natural resources, the EPA can deny or place restrictions on a required dredge and fill permit. If warranted, we hope the Obama Administration would take that step to protect Bristol Bay.<br />
You can support the fight for one of planet Earth’s finest and most productive fishing and hunting destinations by taking action today. <a href="http://www.capwiz.com/savebristolbay/issues/alert/?alertid=61010161&type=ML">Fill out this simple form</a> that will send a letter to the President and your members of Congress asking them to protect Bristol Bay. Let’s carry our sportsmen into D.C. with a lot of momentum.rmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14233031629219408479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8610181083609846255.post-62816982486512545922012-04-12T22:04:00.001-07:002012-04-12T22:04:02.499-07:00Help California's Salmon Swim Free<div class=" G-atb D E">

salmon populations have experienced steep declines in recent years.
Although there are many causes, one key problem resides in the Central

rivers into managed, unnatural waterways--destroying crucial floodplain
habitat that salmon need to survive.<br /><br />These flood control
projects not only take a dramatic toll on California's salmon and
wildlife, but they also put farms, families and cities at risk. As

<strong>Attention Outdoor bloggers:</strong><br />
Chris Schustrom, president of the Flathead Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited, and Bruce Farling, executive director of Montana Trout Unlimited, have written an opinion piece they’re circulating to bloggers all over the country.<br />
Flathead Lake, once Montana’s most popular lake fishery, thanks to its massive kokanee salmon runs, and its native west slope cutthroat trout and bull trout populations, is now in big trouble, thanks to introduced lake trout. Below is the opinion piece that Bruce and Chris are providing to bloggers–they only ask that they be given a byline on your blog. Feel free to copy and paste this piece into your blog and post it whenever you see fit. Feel free to use the embedded photos, too!<br />
Thanks for you support of Montana’s native fish and the effort to improve fishing opportunity in the Flathead Lake system.<br />

<strong>Flathead Lake fishery collapsing thanks to non-native lake trout</strong><br />
By Chris Schustrom and Bruce Farling<br />

West slope cutthroat trout</div>
</div>
This spring native westslope cutthroat and bull trout will stage for their epic journeys from Flathead Lake to spawning streams in the Middle and North Forks Flathead River. Once quite common, their numbers are significantly diminished from the recent past because many cannot navigate the gauntlet of predacious non-native lake trout(and illegally introduced northern pike)that occupy the lake and river. Our neighbors, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, want to bolster the populations of native fish to once again provide a diverse sport fishery as well as revive an important part of tribal culture. With the support of anglers, the assistance of objective science and a review panel of biologists from state and federal agencies, as well as the university system, the tribes are working hard to strike a reasonable balance in the fishery at Flathead Lake. They deserve your support.<br />
Flathead Lake once hosted one of Montana’s most popular and robust sport fisheries, featuring millions of kokanee salmon, cutthroats, yellow perch, bull trout and lake trout. Today, the salmon are gone and cutthroat and bull trout numbers have been reduced dramatically. Also gone are many fishermen. Perch and lake whitefish remain, but their availability fluctuates year to year, depending on water levels and predation. Well-meaning state managers who introduced Mysis shrimp into the Flathead system in the 1980s triggered the decline in the lake’s fishery and fishing opportunities. The shrimp provide an ample food source for young lake trout, improving their survival rates. Once these lake trout get larger they feed on other fish. In the nineties the exploding lake trout population consumed about 10 million kokanee in Flathead Lake, collapsing perhaps the most popular lake fishery in the state. Angling numbers then dropped by about 50 percent. When the kokanee disappeared, so did hundreds of bald eagles that gathered each fall to gorge on spawning salmon at McDonald Creek in Glacier National Park. Thousands of tourists then stopped coming to view the eagles. Tourism dollars dropped.<br />

The culprit ... introduced non-native lake trout</div>
</div>
The large lake trout population – as well as illegally introduced northern pike — also preys on bull trout. The result has been an alarming loss of the native fish in the lake and the connected North and Middle Forks. Today, adult bull trout in Flathead Lake are estimated to be only about 3,000 fish. Localized spawning populations continue to disappear. It is now illegal to fish for them. Scientists estimate lake trout numbers, however,are around 1.8 million. They are tough to catch without a large boat and specialized gear. Lake trout migrating from Flathead Lake have also nearly eliminated bull trout from 10 of 13 lakes on the west side of Glacier Park. Further, they have severely reduced cutthroat numbers in the upper Flathead system, reducing their population to less than half of what they were before Mysis arrived. Because many of the easier-to-catch cutthroats in the upper Flathead River system migrate from the lake, angling opportunities – and the tourism dollars they generate — in the Middle and North Forks are threatened by lake trout.<br />
The near monoculture of lake trout in Flathead Lake threatens the future of sportfishing in the upper Flathead basin. The tribes, however, are addressing this challenge head-on. They are evaluating tools, including maintaining fishing tourneys coupled with limited and scientifically based netting, that can reduce the lake trout population to a reasonable number. This could reduce predation and benefit native bull and cutthroat trout, as well as other sportfish such as perch and lake whitefish. It would also still maintain a lake trout fishery for the minority of anglers who can afford powerboats and the specialized gear it takes to pursue them. Despite the fears of the small cadre of commercial charter operators who fish for lake trout, it would be impossible to eliminate their favored fish from Flathead Lake.<br />
Without new approaches at Flathead Lake, bull trout and cutthroat trout will eventually be reduced to a tiny fraction of their historical numbers, or even extirpated. Without new approaches, angling opportunities and the economic benefits they generate, will continue to dwindle. Without trying, and instead turning the lake and river over to lake trout, we will be judged harshly by future Montanans who will never feel the tug of a large cutthroat on their line at Flathead Lake</div>rmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14233031629219408479noreply@blogger.com0
