This report describes the methods and results of a broad-scale evaluation of the relative vulnerability of Skeena Chinook, coho, pink, chum, and river-type sockeye salmon to regional habitat threats and pressures. The project produced an individual map-based habitat report card for each Conservation Unit (CU) to summarize the location and intensity of pressures on migration, spawning, rearing, and egg incubation 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 project can be found here, including links to supplementary report cards for the Skeena Estuary and Skeena River Basin, and an interactive online map.
