The Sensitive Ecosystems Inventory Bowen/Gambier Trust Areas is part of the Sensitive Ecosystems Inventory (SEI) of East Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands. Please refer to the reports for that project for details on methodology, ecosystem classification, management options, etc. The Bowen Gambier study area is located on the Gulf Islands, south and west of the Sunshine Coast, on mapsheets 92G-033, 034, 041, 043, 044, 053 and 054.

Audience: Government and Public

The eastern coastal lowland of Vancouver Island and the adjacent Gulf Islands comprise a unique ecological region in Canada, with exceptionally high biodiversity values and many rare and endangered plant and animal species and plant communities. Intense development pressure in this area has resulted in the fragmentation and loss of many of these rare ecosystems. The project systematically identified and mapped the ecologically significant and relatively unmodified sensitive terrestrial ecosystems remaining in this area, specifically, wetland and riparian ecosystems, older forests and woodlands, coastal bluffs, sparsely vegetated dunes, spits and cliffs, and terrestrial herbaceous ecosystems. Seasonally flooded agricultural fields and large patches of older second growth forests were also mapped for their general biodiversity values. Inventory data was gathered through air photo interpretation, supported by selective field checking.Users should refer to the Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands SEI report (Volume 1) and the Conservation Manual (Volume 2) to understand the methodology used and ecosystem management options. Summary results for the Bowen Gambier area are not yet published.
