| Bull Kelp Monitoring | March 5, 2019 - 10:44am |
This past Thursday the MABRRI team headed out on Captain Ryan Fredrickson’s boat, “The Silver Bullet”, to check on our recently transplanted bull kelp plots in the Northumberland Channel as well as on the Winchelsea Islands. The water was flat calm when we arrived at the Marina, and with binoculars in hand we were lucky enough to spot some porpoises on the boat ride south to our first site, just south of Nanaimo. Myself and another volunteer, Mark Bright from Sundown Diving, suited up and hopped in the water at our Northumberland Channel site which is just north of Dodd’s Narrows. |

| Bathymetric Mapping on Cameron Lake | March 5, 2019 - 10:42am |
On the Tuesday after Canada Day, Ryan and I went to Cameron Lake (one of the MABR’s many Amazing Places) to work on a bathymetric map. Thanks to first-rate weather, views, and company it felt like an extension of the long weekend! But we were also collecting important data. Bathymetric maps display the depth and shape of submerged features; essentially they’re a topographic map of the lake floor. This information helps us understand limnologic ecosystem function and health. |
| Forage Fish Habitat Monitoring Program – Thetis Island | March 5, 2019 - 10:41am |
Everyone loves a beach day. Luckily for me, heading to the beach is “just another day at the office”. This past week, the MABRRI Forage Fish team took a trip to Thetis Island to explore the shorelines in search of forage fish eggs. Surf Smelt eggs, to be exact. These near-shore schooling fish are an important part of the marine food web, and although they are protected by the government here in BC, lack of data on their spawning grounds (beaches) has made it hard to protect these small fish. |

On June 9th the MABRRI team loaded up and headed to Foster Park in Parksville to get ready for the Spring Mini – the third consultation event for the Parksville Parks, Trails and Open Spaces Master Plan project. The Spring Mini was planned with the hopes of bringing community members to Foster Park to get their opinions on what they want to see for the parks, trails and open spaces in Parksville, as well as hold a community event where Parksville residents can come out and enjoy the sun. |

| Garry Oak Ecosystem Mapping Field Day | March 5, 2019 - 10:38am |
On Tuesday June 5th, MABRRI’s Assistant Research and Community Engagement Coordinator, Larissa Thelin, and I, Roxanne Croxall, a MABRRI Research Assistant, visited the first of many Garry Oak Ecosystem (GOE) field sites identified by our predictive mapping. This first field visit on Tuesday took place at Notch Hill in Nanoose Bay. With the help of experts, Dr. Caroline Jossefson (VIU Biology), and naturalist Kent Anders, the MABRRI team was able to begin ground-truthing our remotely sensed predictive mapping. |
