FISHERIES Salmon 60% of total fish on west coast. Sockeye, pink, coho, chum, & spring. Dwindling stocks. Overfishing, spawning, habitat, pollution. Sustainability Issues. First Nations. Fish Farming USA – Alaska See following Map

MONITORING A DWINDLING RESOURCE

WATER Canada uses 500 litres per day per person. India uses 25 littres. Uses include: - human consumption. - irrigation. - transportation. - recreation. -hydroelectricity. - waste dumps. Canada has already established hydroelectric deals with the USA. The USA tried to sue Canada when we refused to sell water to them. They felt it went against NAFTA. US water shortage ideas => reroute the Columbia River, icebergs from the north, desalination. Decided on CONSERVATION.

THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY B.C. agriculture. Grain, cattle, dairy, fruit, ginseng, wineries, tomatoes, cucumbers, and the implementation of organic growing. Agricultural Land Reserves. Fraser Valley. Okanagan.

MINING Minerals Gold, copper, zinc, lead, diamonds, aluminum, oil, & gas. Dependant on world prices. Average lifespan = 25 yrs. Types of Mining. Underground – follow seams, labour intensive, & dangerous. Open-pit – require capital, fewer workers, & safer. Environmental Issues. Tailings. Habitat to be returned to original state. Kemess Mine Tailing pond A non-renewable Resource.
