Community-based Action Program for Shorelines $10,000
Columbia-Kootenay Fisheries Renewal Partnership

Building on legacies of The Living by Water Project (LbyW), CAPS will help community groups in the Columbia Basin protect, conserve and restore riparian areas, one of the greatest repositories of biodiversity. CAPS provides capacity building and conservation marketing tools and techniques, as well as ready-to-use resources, to conservation and stewardship groups and others. This helps these groups improve their ability to motivate local shoreline and streamside residents in taking positive actions to protect water quality and maintain habitat for fish and other wildlife, also enhancing recreation and tourism in the community. The project will also help with practical tips and ideas for celebrations associated with the Wonder of Water (WOW) initiative.
The Living by Water Project is gradually transferring skills and resources to communities throughout BC and they have agreed to work with CKFRP to strengthen capacity in the Basin.
