Kootenay Lake Foreshore Integrated Management Planning- 2021
Download: kootenay-lake-fimp-2021_final_march-31-2022-1.pdf
The desire to live and recreate in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia (BC), combined with the generally positive economic climate, has resulted in rapid population growth and urban development. Lake foreshore (or shoreline) residential development pressures (both permanent and seasonal) have especially increased. Kootenay Lake, with its approximate 400 km of shoreline, has seen a pronounced amount of this growth. This development inevitably impacts the natural foreshore environment. Unfortunately, these impacts can diminish the natural values that draw people to live and recreate along the foreshore in the first place. Living Lakes Canada (LLC) has funded this shoreline mapping project through Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Nature Fund for Aquatic Species at Risk (SAR) Program, to aid long-term lakeshore planning to protect high value fish and wildlife habitat values.

| Data collection info | For this Project, Kootenay Lake was re-assessed using the recently revised FIMP methods FIMP (Schleppe et al. 2020). The FIMP involved completing the three components: FIM, FHSI, and FDG. Since the lake was previously assessed, past results were included to provide an understanding of any changes that have occurred over the 9-year period since the last assessment. To align the original data set with the new standards with as much accuracy as possible, important and detailed quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures were completed, such as photo comparisons between the original survey and this survey wherever feasible. |
