Slocan Lake Foreshore Integrated Management Planning Open 2021

As residential and recreational pressures on Slocan Lake escalate, questions have been raised about what measures need to be taken to balance the social, cultural, ecological, and economic values of any given area. In response to these concerns, Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM) was conducted in 2010 and included FIM field surveys, the development of an Aquatic Habitat Index (AHI) and corresponding Shoreline Management Guidelines (SMG). Eleven years had passed since the original FIM was conducted and there was an interest in updating the previous field surveys and corresponding analyses to evaluate rates of change (e.g., development), observe whether integrated policies have been working, identify additional important habitat and species at risk and update the Slocan Lake FIM dataset using standard Foreshore Integrated Management Planning (FIMP) methods that were updated in 2020.
