The Squamish River estuary has long been recognized for its importance to fish and wildlife resources. This is realized when one considers that the anadromous fish populations of six river systems (the Squamish, Mamquam, Cheakamus, Elaho, Ashlu, and Stawamus) depend on the Squamish estuary for estuarine habitat. Knowledge of terrestrial mammals in the Squamish estuary is limited, but blacktail deer and black bear as well as several other species are known to occur in the area. Several species of marine mammals occur in the estuary, including harbour seals and killer whales. This report contains a summary of available data on Provincial fisheries resources as well as terrestrial and marine mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Information on these resources is limited. Data gaps have been identified where they are apparent. Information concerning birds in the estuary is not included as this will be compiled by the Canadian Wildlife Service. Saltwater and commercial fisheries resources will be considered by the Fisheries and Marine Service of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Sections in this report include species present, biology,distribution, diet of trout and char in the estuary, the recreational fishery, enhancement, data gaps, and terrestrial and marine mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Species of fish present include rainbow and steelhead, cutthroat, Dolly Varden Char, three-spined stickleback, sculpin, and lamprey. Harbour seals, killer whales, coyote, otter, muskrat, red squirrel, raccoon, mink, skunk, bobcat, deer, black bear, cougar, shrews, bats, rodents, and rabbits are reported in the study area.
