  • Description of Residence for Bank Swallow 1 Description of Residence for Bank Swallow (Riparia riparia) in Canada Preface Section 33 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) prohibits damaging or destroying the residence of a listed threatened, endangered, or extirpated species. SARA defines residence as: “a dwelling-place, such as a den, nest or other similar area or place, that is occupied or habitually occupied by one or more individuals during all or part of their life cycles, including breeding, rearing, staging, wintering, feeding or hibernating” [s.2(1)]. With respect to a listed wildlife species that is an aquatic species or a species of bird protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, the prohibition applies wherever the residences are found. For any other listed wildlife species, the prohibition applies automatically when the residence of the species is on federal lands and will only apply on non-federal lands if an order is made pursuant to ...

  • Survey protocol and guidelines March 2014 Program for Regional and International Shorebird Monitoring Photo © Alix d’Entremont Atlantic Canada Shorebird Surveys The Program for Regional and International Shorebird Monitoring (PRISM) was designed in 2001 by biologists and researchers from the Canadian and United States Governments (Canadian Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) to provide a framework for shorebird monitoring in North America in response to a need for coordination and cooperation in the delivery of existing pro- grams, and in the development of new surveys. Specifically, the goals of PRISM are to: 1) estimate population size; 2) monitor trends in population size; 3) monitor shorebirds at stopover locations; 4) determine distribution, abundance, and habitats used throughout the year; and 5) assist local managers in meeting shorebird conservation goals. To do this, PRISM draws from four ...

  • Hello, I am writing to suggest alternative remediation treatments at Boat Harbour (and other) projects. I do not believe dredging and placing contaminants in a lined capped pit onsite is a long term solution to remediation. Please consider such alternate treatments as mentioned in the following studies. These alternate treatments would also be usefully applied at abandoned mines and other contaminated sites.  https://www.hindawi.com/journals/isrn/2011/402647/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23357508/  (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23357508/) https://www.intechopen.com/books/emerging-pollutants-some-strategies-for-the-quality-preservation-of-our-environment/study-on-magnetic-materials-for-removal-of-water-pollutants  ...
