This report describes the methods and results of a broad-scale evaluation of the relative vulnerability of Skeena lake-type sockeye Conservation Units (CUs) to regional habitat threats and pressures. The project produced an individual map-based habitat report card for each CU to summarize the location and intensity of pressures on migration, spawning and rearing habitats.

NOTE: Due to the large size of these files, the report cards for each CU are available for download separately from the main report, either individually or as a single file for all CUs.

More information about the Habitat Report Card project can be found here, including links to a supplementary report card for the Skeena Estuary, and an interactive online map.
