PROGRAMS
Strategic
planning
Goal: To develop and implement a long-term comprehensive fisheries
strategy that identifies key fisheries issues in the region,
outlines the environmental, socio-economic and cultural resource
values, and fosters decision-making at the local, regional and
international scale.
Objectives: The strategic plan will establish specific goals
and objectives for individual fish species and habitat types
and set strategic priorities for future funding. The plan will
recognize ongoing commitments on behalf of existing regional
programs (MELP, CBFWCP, CBT), incorporate community perspectives
and concerns and prioritize funding based on highest fisheries
resource needs. The degree of complexity of specific fisheries
issues will dictate the nature of any collaborative arrangements
and the time required for issue resolution. The plan is considered
a "living document". Ongoing community discussion
will be instrumental in shaping future changes in strategic
priorities and allowing a process to facilitate strategic updates.
Activities: Seek consensus on goals and objectives, identify
information gaps, recommend future research needs, review existing
program plans, recommend suitable programs, and develop new
opportunities that meet strategic guidelines.
Delivery Mechanism: Delivery of the strategic plan will be achieved
through two workshops. The first workshop will be open to the
regional partnership and other interested parties to provide
strategic direction on species, impact type, geographic, and
habitat priorities. The timing of this forum has not been finalized,
but the intent is to conduct it during the latter half of the
1999/00 fiscal year. A consultant will be contracted to incorporate
the results of this forum in a preliminary Strategic Plan that
will be distributed to community groups for review and comment
prior to a second meeting at the end of the fiscal year. At
the second meeting, the strategic plan will be reviewed after
results from the FY99/2000 programs are evaluated. Careful consideration
will be given to coordinating strategic planning initiatives
with other parties (MELP, CBT, etc.). A second task of the final
strategic planning meeting will involve selection of a steering
committee for a two year term.
