Commentary on the management of fish habitat in northern Canada : information requirements and policy considerations regarding diamond, oil sands and placer mining - summary report

This summary is derived from a detailed technical report which identifies scientific and management information needs that are necessary in order to make consistent and defensible decisions which conform with the intent of the "Policy for the Management of Fish Habitat" ("Habitat Policy", Department of Fisheries and Oceans 1986), and that assist with the facilitation of responsible mining activities compliant with the Fisheries Act. The project was stimulated by increasing mining activities in northern Canada. Compensation and restoration for the destruction of lake and stream habitats pose significant scientific and management challenges, especially so in northern Canada where ecological knowledge and understanding are rudimentary.
