As my citizen-science project I’m declaring 2014 as ‘The Year Of The Butterfly’. Why? First, I don’t think anyone else is going to do it. Second, I think it needs to be done. Most people associate the term “endan- gered” to iconic spe- cies like tigers, pandas, or whales, but the majority of endangered species are actually insects. Insects might be too small to be noticed by most people but their significance is immense. They are an integral part of the com- plex web of nature and one of the foundations of life on earth. They are responsible for critical func- tions such as pollination, and soil creation, and they are also a part of the food chain that is essential for the survival of many birds and insect-eating vertebrates. As pollin- ators alone they are responsible for a significant portion of the world’s food resources, and their value is immeasurable. It is in our best interest to learn all we can about the insects in our environment, and there is no bet- ter place to start than butterflies. Butterflies are the most beautiful, fascinating, and charismatic of all the insects and the perfect poster child for the insect world. Not only are they attractive and fascinating, but like many other insects their lives are also in jeopardy. In fact, 18 out of the 69 wild butterflies record- ed on Vancouver Island are either red or blue-listed which means they are species of concern or endan- gered, and many other populations are in serious decline. As a photographer I make no claims about knowing anything about butterflies, but I can observe and record my sightings to provide baseline data for any scientist that might be interested. I can also share what I learn with others and encour- age them to observe and record to establish baseline data for scientific study in their own neighbourhoods and regions. Unfortunately, scientists have also become an endangered spe- cies. According to a recent Fifth Estate documentary, our federal government has canned over 2,000 scientists who were involved in environmental studies that might provide information to stymie mega projects like pipelines and Arctic oil exploration. Similarly, environment- al scientists at the provincial level are a scarce commodity. Essentially, the protection of the environment has been left up to non-profit organ- izations like the Nature Trust and concerned citizen groups. I will be spending as much time as I can learning and writing about butterflies and encouraging others to do the same. For starters I’ve designed a butterfly poster featuring 46 Vancouver Island species, and I’ll be happy to lend the file to anyone who wants to print their own copy. As well, I have prepared a checklist of all Vancouver Island butterflies and that will also be available for the asking. Please email me if inter- ested in either or both (mike@van- couverislandbirds.com). April is a good time to start studying butterflies. Many spring butterflies like the Mourning Cloak, Sara’s Orangetip, Satyr Comma, and Western Elfin have already been reported in the Victoria region. For the most part it simply means get- ting out to observe and enjoy nature when the sun is shining because that’s when the butterflies will be flying. While you’re at it keep a rec- ord of what, where, and when, and if possible, take some photos of the butterflies and the local habitat. The data you collect will be useful for any scientific studies in your region. ® Tuesday, April 22, 2014 A PRODUCT OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER COURIER-ISLANDER AND COMOX VALLEY ECHO 0 DOWN $ 299 bi-weekly * Special WAS $56,069 * $ 45 , 700 * • 6” Lift • Nightmare Decals • Mickey Thompson Special Edition 35” Tires • Side Fender Flares • 20” XD Series Rims & More 84/96 @4.99% O.A.C. *+ Fees/Taxes.

As my citizen-science project I’m declaring 2014 as ‘The Year Of The Butterfly’. Why? First, I don’t think

anyone else is going to do it. Second, I think it needs to be done. Most people associate the term “endan-gered” to iconic spe-cies like

tigers, pandas, or whales, but the majority of endangered species are actually insects. Insects might be too small to be noticed by most people but their significance is immense. They are an integral part of the com-plex web of nature and one of the foundations of life on earth. They are responsible for critical func-

tions such as pollination, and soil creation, and they are also a part of the food chain that is essential for the survival of many birds and insect-eating vertebrates. As pollin-ators alone they are responsible for a significant portion of the world’s food resources, and their value is immeasurable.

It is in our best interest to learn all we can about the insects in our environment, and there is no bet-ter place to start than butterflies. Butterflies are the most beautiful, fascinating, and charismatic of all the insects and the perfect poster child for the insect world. Not only are they attractive and fascinating, but like many other insects their lives are also in jeopardy. In fact, 18 out of the 69 wild butterflies record-ed on Vancouver Island are either red or blue-listed which means they are species of concern or endan-gered, and many other populations are in serious decline.

As a photographer I make no claims about knowing anything

about butterflies, but I can observe and record my sightings to provide baseline data for any scientist that might be interested. I can also share what I learn with others and encour-age them to observe and record to establish baseline data for scientific study in their own neighbourhoods and regions.

Unfortunately, scientists have also become an endangered spe-cies.

Earlier this month a significant milestone in the history of the Pacific regional recreational fishery was celebrated, one marking the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Sport Fishing Advisory Board. Widely known simply by its acro-nym, the SFAB, it started its existence on April 10, 1964 and is now said to be the longest standing advisory and consultation process between any fishery anywhere in Canada and DFO.

Over that time the SFAB, like most things in life, has changed considerably since the then minister H. J. Robichaud brought the board into being. Originally the SFAB was a singular com-mittee of ministerial appointee’s and the Campbell River area was well represented in the early ver-sions with Roderick Haig-Brown (unorganized sport fishermen), Van Egan (Northern Vancouver Island) and Pete Peterson, founder of April Point Resort on Quadra Island all participating.

In the news release the minister noted that “the need for such an advisory body has become apparent to the department through the spectacu-lar increase in tidewater angling on the Pacific coast” and will “consider regulations and other problems related to salt water angling.” I wonder what Minister Robichaud would have made of today’s far more widespread recreational fishery

and the almost bewildering array of regulations needed to govern it!

Of all the various issues that brought the SFAB into existence one more than any other was the catalyst and this was trying to find resolution to the management of the commercial net fisheries in Juan de Fuca Strait, which were having a devastating effect on meaningful recreational opportunity around southern Vancouver Island, never mind their impact on the salmon resource itself.

Although the Pacific coast sport fishery was thought to have increased “spectacularly” by the early 1960’s the same could be said for the net boat effort, with the gillnets alone having gone from about 383 boat days per season in 1953 to 8,967 boat days by 1965 plus growth by the seine boats. The preferred target specie, then as now, was sockeye salmon but in those days there was no such thing as by-catch and everything was legal for commercial harvest, the result of which was that in 1962 the net boats in Juan de Fuca harvested 3.6 million coho - no wonder there was nothing left for anglers to catch! And, remember,

long before the days of the Salmon Enhancement Program these were all wild coho, or nearly so.

Those agitating for change in many cases were names later to become more familiar as they pion-eered the modern business of BC sport fishing – Bob Wright, Tom Sewell, Jim Gilbert, Rhys Davis amongst others. Much of this hist-ory was captured in the columns of long time Times-Colonist writer Alec Merriman who fortunately saved copies and of which many have

recently been scanned and saved in digital format. Participants at the 50th SFAB meeting all received a disc with these files and they make for fascinat-ing reading, I’ve only had the chance to look at a few so far.

For the first dozen or so years the SFAB con-tinued as a single board responsible for providing advice for the entire coast although the recreation-al fishery was largely concentrated along the south and east coast of Vancouver Island and the adja-cent mainland near Vancouver. And most of the discussion was around salmon and little else in terms of sport catch although the management of

the commercial herring fishery, more for reduction than a high-end roe fishery, evidently consumed some time.

The first change to the structure of the SFAB came in about 1976 in Campbell River, when a local advisory committee affiliated with it was struck by the local senior DFO resource manager Norm Lemmen. Dick Murphy, a past president of the Tyee Club, was the first chairman and remained so for many years. Little by little local SFAC’s, as they became known, started up in a growing number of coastal communities and along the Fraser and Skeena rivers.

By the early 1990’s the SFAB had grown to geographically cover the area it does now but functionally it needed a little more organization-al structure and this challenge was resolved by creating two intermediary boards known as the North and South SFAB.

Thus the full board process has evolved from a singular top down body to a classic community based, from the bottom up pro-cess, rooted in some two dozen community groups, the two intermediate boards and with the main SFAB still meeting in Vancouver twice a year.

Senegal — almost on the oppos-ite side of the planet from British Columbia — is a coastal country where the continent of Africa bulges westward into the Atlantic Ocean. It is a poor place, with most of its animal protein coming from the sustainable 200 tonnes of most-ly sardinella that its many small pirogues harvest daily from its rich coastal waters. About 600,000 people in the country are employed in catching, drying, distributing and marketing this fresh and dried fish.

This critically important source of food and employment is now at risk because of the arrival of factories from Korea, China and Russia. As of 2013, 11 huge factories have been built on Senegal’s coast to process the local marine bounty into fishmeal for salmon farming and livestock rearing. Foreign trawlers will be providing most of the raw material to the fac-tories — just one Russian plant, Flash Africa, will need 460 tonnes per day to produce its 46 tonnes of fishmeal for the global market. For the Senegalese, their stocks are collapsing, local fishers are returning with nearly empty nets, and the cost of fish is escalating beyond affordability (Guardian Weekly, Feb. 21/14).

This scenario is being repeated in Chile where the country’s loss of fish stocks is being described as “catastrophic”. Chile’s 85,000 “artisan” fishers now have to go further and further offshore for fewer and fewer fish. Their traditional catch of 4.5 million tonnes per year in the 1990s has dwindled to 300,000 tonnes. Populations of the iconic jack mackerel — its rich, oily protein is valued as a staple food in Chile and Africa — have collapsed by as much as 90 percent. Hake, sea bass and anchovy are also in crisis. The collapse is attribut-ed to fleets of foreign trawler factory ships, largely unencumbered by regulations or weather, that are emptying the South Pacific of fish.

This is part of the looting of the southern oceans by wealthy countries that is sending poor countries into economic and nutritional distress. As with the sardinella of Senegal, much of the industrial harvest of Chile’s jack mackerel is reduced to fishmeal for growing cattle, pigs and salmon — more than five kilos of jack mackerel are required to raise one kilo of farmed salmon. The South Pacific’s catch of 30 million tonnes of jack mackerel has fallen to three million in two decades. While local fishers and Chileans are left without fish, the response of the trawler fleets is simply to move farther south toward the edge of Antarctica to catch and process what’s left. Daniel Pauly, the eminent University of British Columbia oceanographer, considers the falling numbers of jack mackerel in the southern Pacific Ocean to be an alarming indicator. “This is the last of the buffaloes,” he told the International Consortium of Investigative Journalist. “When they’re gone, everything will be gone... . This is the closing of the frontier” (Center for Public Integrity, Jan. 25/12).

One of the largest ships targeting jack mack-

erel is owned by Pacific Andes International Holdings, known as PacAndes. Based in Hong Kong, the company spent $100 million in 2008 to rebuild a 750-foot, 50,000-ton oil tanker into a floating factory named the Lafayette. This Russian-flagged vessel collects fish from attendant trawlers and has a processing cap-acity of 547,000 tonnes per year — the sustainable catch limit for South Pacific jack mackerel is calculated at 520,000 tonnes. Sadly, the fate of this humble little fish is indicative of the progressive collapse of stocks

in all oceans. This industrial pillaging of the oceans would

be tragic enough if all the fish were being used efficiently to feed the world’s burgeoning human population. But much of the catch is processed into fishmeal. And the salmon farming industry is a dependent partner in this inefficient and unsustainable use of marine fish.

The industry has been fastidious in promot-ing its pride and image as a producer of quality food — although this claim seems to be at odds with the health advisory warnings and escal-ating parasite problems coming out of Norway. Unfortunately, salmon farming grows a carnivor-ous product that sells beyond the affordability of most of the world’s poor consumers — including those in Senegal and Chile.

But this is characteristic of the destructive distortion that has occurred in industrial farming. Cattle, pigs, fowl and other domestic animals are herbivores that were never fish eaters. Fish resources have better and wiser uses. As a strat-egy, salmon farming is similarly unsustainable because feeding fish to grow another fish as a edible product is a highly inefficient way of mak-ing food — farming has never grown sheep to feed to tigers so we can eat tiger meat. If we must eat meat, the long history of farming has found that the only viable strategy is to eat herbivores.

Salmon farming is an anomaly in history and aquaculture, only supported today by the fleets from an industrial fishing industry that strain the oceans of perfectly edible fish that then get ren-dered into fishmeal. Farmed salmon is a product for rich people, paid for by the loss of sustenance fish for poor people. Such salmon are not going to feed the world’s population; growing them is simply going to accelerate the pillaging of oceans so that no one has fish.

So the recent announcement by the BC Salmon Farmers Association that they intend a 100,000 tonne increase in net-pen farmed salmon produc-tion by 2020, with a further increase to 150,000 tonnes by 2025 is simply bad news. This osten-sibly doubles the production of BC’s farmed sal-mon, disregards the cautionary recommendations of the Canadian government’s $26 million Cohen Commission Report, and forebodes even more fish shortages for the poor people of Chile, Senegal and elsewhere. Filling more net-pens with more farmed salmon is a means to emptying the oceans of all fish.

Ardent Angler from page 2.The local SFAB’s are made up of local recrea-

tional fishermen and other interests who elect a chairman and who usually is also the represent-ative of the group at the north or south coast SFAB’s, which also meet twice a year. At this level they are joined by recreational represent-atives to the Pacific Salmon Commission and reps from the larger provincial angling organiz-ations. As part of the bi-annual election process they in turn select a chairman and a “group of five” from each of the north and south and these two groups now form the core of the main SFAB, once again joined by organizational rep-resentatives.

There is a set of terms of reference for all three levels, largely similar but not quite identi-cal to address the slightly different structure of each. One fundamental element of the TOR’s is that primary users (i.e. those that do not have a financial interest in the recreational fishery) should wherever possible always form a major-ity over the secondary users (i.e. those that do in some fashion generate some income from the fishery). The SFAB has worked hard over the years to make sure that the advice it provides to DFO is balanced and inclusive of all interests,

from high end lodges to the proverbial “week-end warrior” out in his tin boat.

The list of issues the SFAB has attempted to deal with on behalf of the recreational fishery is too long to detail here but in the last 20 years some prominent ones include non-retention of chinook across large areas of the coast in 1996; the infamous region wide “zero mortality objective” for coho in 1998 and everything that has flowed from that since, including advocat-ing for a mark selective fishery; lingcod non-re-tention in the Strait of Georgia, halibut alloca-tion and license fee renewal, now in its second go ‘round. And much more, much much more.

As someone who has participated in the pro-cess for quite a few years I sometimes get asked whether it all seems worthwhile. I confess that net gains are frequently slow to arrive and it would be easy to get discouraged and give the whole thing up, however I can truthfully say that were it not for the efforts of all the many SFAB volunteers over the years the modern recreational fishery as we currently know and enjoy it almost certainly wouldn’t exist so from that perspective the SFAB has a lot to commend to it.

Long may it last!

On Sunday April 27th, 2:30 - 4:30, artists Helen Utsal and Lucy Schappy are hosting the opening of their SPRING ART SHOW. You are invited to join the artists at the exhibition of their new oil paintings.

For the past three years, the two artists have been sharing studio space at the artist run “ART ALCHEMY STUDIO/ GALLERY”. The SPRING SHOW features new artwork produced in this shared professional working space.

Although their styles and subject matter are very different, both artists share commonalities: they both love colour and draw upon the world around them. Helen’s paintings honor the natu-ral world of west coast forest and ocean. Her large paintings are homages to the natural beau-

ty that she discovers when running, hiking and biking the island trails. Her excursions into nature are opportunities to witness and record the splendor of the earth, “the forest is her church, a place of worship and revery”.

Lucy’s paintings are also a tribute to the beau-ty of the world around her but in a more abstract fashion. The show features horses, fig-ures, flowers and color fields, depicted with a sense of emotion, wonder and movement. The year of the horse has provided inspiration and motivation to return to a beloved theme.

For more information about the artists please visit their websites at: helenutsal.ca and [email protected]. or come by the ART ALCHEMY studio/ gallery Saturdays 12- 4.

ANSWERS TO LAST PUZZLE

Vocalist Jenn Forsland

■ GEORGIA STRAIGHT JAZZ SOCIETY

In a recent interview, it was obvious that jazz singer Jenn Forsland was excited.

“We’re looking forward to sharing music with the faithful GSJS crowd at the jazz club on April 24th. It’s been a year since our last visit and our crew has been working on some new repertoire to make the evening’s performance a memorable one for the audience. You can expect the usual suspects will be in atten-dance: Rick Husband (guitar), Grahame Edwards (bass), Tony Morrison (sax and flute), me (voice and keys) with special guest Aaron Amar (drums).”

Regular jazz aficionados in Comox valley know that all of these fine musicians need no further introduction; they’re among the cream of fine jazz artists and they’ve been much appreciated throughout the last six years or so.

“I am continually inspired by the skill, talent, and grace of these wonderful musicians and consider it a continued privilege to make music with them. Each brings playfulness to the experi-ence of sharing music which makes for fun rehearsals and even more entertaining performances. I love the how the gift of time together has nurtured a sense of freedom, comfort and relaxation in our collaboration.

“There’s not much we won’t try and as time rolls on, the music we make together becomes more sophisticated, experimental and confident.

“Our tunes for this performance reflect upon the themes of love, life and relationships. We will explore each theme from multiple perspectives ranging from sassy and flirtatious to con-templative to sentimental. In an effort to reinvent and reinvigo-rate classic pop tunes with a jazz twist, the audience can expect to hear tunes by artists such as Van Morrison, Tom Waits, Billy Joel, Lee Hazelwood, The Turtles, Harry Connick Jr., and Leonard Cohen.

“The standards, however, will not be neglected and the audi-ence can also expect some tunes from the Great American Songbook which are not often performed, including Here’s That Rainy Day, It Could Happen to You, All Or Nothing At All, and Gentle Rain.”

Jenn also offered a special plaudit: “Special mention goes out to Rick Husband for his musical direction in preparation of these tunes. Rick has crafted some very clever arrangements of tunes for this gig. His ability to modify harmonies whilst maintaining the melodic integrity of a classic song has inspired some unique and inventive versions of songs many will recognize.”

And finally Jenn added, with a wink, “During the evening, stories will be told and we will enjoy a musical journey together.”

Those of us familiar with her engaging style can only begin to wonder what new twists she brings.

Those of you who are not will simply have to come down to the Avalanche Bar for the 7:30 downbeat. Don’t leave it too late though - this is bound to be one of the most popular concerts of the year, and Jenn always attracts a large turnout.

For more information about upcoming music and events, as well as a fine gallery of wonderful photographic images of shows from throughout the 2013-14 performance year(courtesy of Comox Valley Camera Club), visit www.georgiastraightjazz.com or see us on Facebook.
