MarLim was responsible for the preparation of erosion and sediment control plans, planting compensation plans, and the instream works notification package submission. A raptor and nesting survey along the right-of-way (ROW) to a distance of approximately 15m into the forest along both sides of the ROW was conducted. All trees, both deciduous and coniferous were …
MarLim conducted historic fisheries data research, summarized the fisheries resource values, and identified areas for potential enhancement within the Fishtrap Creek watershed. Fish sampling was conducted using Gee Minnow traps. Options for short- and long-term enhancement opportunities within and adjacent to the Fishtrap Creek Trail system were outlined. Project Team: A senior biologist conducted the initial site assessment …

This project was undertaken for a Lower Mainland Municipal Government in order to attempt to determine why the marsh area that was disturbed during dyke re-construction had not been successful at naturally regenerating the marsh plants. Test plots were designed and monitored for almost one year to determine which combination of: elevation, soil type and plant species namely- …
MarLim was responsible for determining the extent of fish presence/absence as well as collecting stream width measurements in the study area. Prior to the stream sampling, MarLim conducted historic fisheries data research, reviewed maps, and overflew the sites in helicopter to assess potential fish barriers and habitat features. Following this initial assessment, the sites were then classified by …
Monitoring for the removal of Summit Creek Bridge #1 and construction of the new bridge was done to ensure minimal impact to the stream habitat and water quality of Summit Creek and waters downstream. Previous study findings (MarLim Ecol. Cons. 1994) determined that the riparian class of the stream at this location is “S1”. This class designation suggests …
