Capsule Resume Ms. Blakley has participated in a wide variety of projects. She was instrumental in compiling a series of volumes of data and information on the fish and fisheries of BC to assist the federal government in its negotiations related to aboriginal land claims in British Columbia. She assisted in the development of a database and keyword index to facilitate the identification of legislation that might apply to any particular land or resource issue. She aided in the collection and organization of information on the undersea military testing ranges in Nanoose Bay and Jervis Inlet. She also assisted in the operation of the Meziadin fishway and was responsible for counting and collecting biological samples for the different salmon species entering the fishway. She has completed a seven year Yukon River Harvest Basin Study for the Council of Yukon First Nations as data manager and office supervisor. In August 2002, she gastrically implanted radio transmitters into Late-run Fraser adult sockeye stocks to address management concerns related to migration behaviour and their survival in freshwater. She is also in her seventh year of surgically implanting radio transmitters into smolts to estimate the survival rate and behaviour of the juvenile salmonids during outmigration passing dams on the mid-Columbia River. More recently, Ms. Blakley has provided technical assistance to the Tsawwassen First Nation for their Fisheries Treaty Related Measure Project. She is also currently compiling a salmon data inventory for British Columbia and the Yukon Territory which will augment existing monitoring and analytical efforts in order to identify potential conservation concerns for salmon and their ecosystems before they become irreversible.
