REFERENCE MATERIAL
| |
|
The Mosquito Creek watershed is a study area for various interests, covering fisheries, storm water, and habitat, because:
| |
|
| It is within a large urban area and is easily accessible.
| |
| It has been altered by development, but still supports fish and wildlife.
| |
| Different sections of the watershed fall under the management of different levels of government.
| |
| The watershed stretches from the mountains to the sea, offering a wide range of climate and geology for its size.
| |
| Local and senior governments have carried out watershed studies and are familiar with conditions.
| |
| Several habitat restoration projects have been completed.

| MAPS
| |
|
Maps are produced, then often produced again later in order to keep the information up to date.
Sometimes earlier maps are more useful to a particular study.
Original maps are stored in government archives or libraries.
However, they may not be available to the public for practical reasons. Instead, they may be copied, in which case the printed copies are available, or they are posted online.
| |
| |
Listed below are examples of the types of maps that are created for use.
