• Vancouver Public Aquarium is now one of only two aquariums in the world to have sea otters. Here John, the male is seen with one of the two females, Attu and Kiska, in the newly opened Finning Pool complex, built with the aid of a 5180,000gift from Finning Tractor and Equipment Company Ltd. The three sea otters in Stanley Park will give most Canadians their only opportunity to see a creature once plentiful on this coast before it was hunted to extinction in the last century, although small colonies survived in the Aleutians and California.
Society wires Williams:
'Endstream bank logging'
The Steelhead Society of B.C. wants an immediate moratorium on streambank logging in all parts of the coast.
In telegrams sent May 27 to recreation minister Jack Radford and resources minister Bob Williams, the society pointed to "ample evidence that the B.C. Forest Service is condoning the practice of streambank logging."
A provincial government moratorium established earlier this year on streamside logging in one Vancouver Island watershed should be widened in scope, the society says. Logging should be banned within 130 to 200 feet of all coastal stream banks.
Vancouver Island streams named by the society as areas of special concern include the White, Salmon, Adam, Cameron, Little Qualicum and Heber rivers. The Squamish River on the mainland also was mentioned.
And the society believes that damage to streams may be
mounting as a result of stepped-up forest industrial activities initiated since the provincial government established a special committee to examine stream-bank logging earlier this year.
Society secretary Cal Woods was quoted recently as saying, "We are quite sure the forest companies are expecting the 'government to impose strict guidelines on streambank logging, so they are logging river valleys as quickly as possible before they are stopped.
"Our members are people who
walk up and down river banks and they see what is going on. Valleys are being logged at a much faster rate than usual."
In a submission to the special legislative committee in April, the UFAWU reiterated its view that the problem of streambank logging is one of several which can only be resolved through creation of a provincial fisheries department "capable of offsetting the preeminence of logging" and empowered to ensure rational use of all watershed resources.
