Broughton Archipelago III

In series, these images work to demonstrate a relationship between logging practices and the degradation of the stream and ocean ecosystems. Practices of clear cutting, inadequate shoreline buffering, and of floating logs downstream have severely altered stream ecology in many areas, negatively impacting salmon stocks and other populations.

Photographs selected for this series were taken in the Broughton Archipelago and in nearby communities, including Beaver Cove and Telegraph Cove, on Northern Vancouver Island, as well as the Elk Falls Mill in Campbell River, where much the timber logged in the region was processed, but which has since closed.
