CKFRP Strategic Planning $41,496

The goal of this project is to develop a long-term comprehensive fisheries strategy (in collaboration with MELP, CBFWCP, DFO, etc.) 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. Strategic planning has been identified in the development of the Columbia Kootenay Fisheries Renewal Partnership as a key priority.

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.
