Project Summary

This project would create a foreshore inventory of Shuswap Lake and its watershed using video with gps technology and orthophotos. In addition to a final report, the data gathered from the project would be converted into an online-atlas accessible to government decision makers and other groups, including First Nations. This project directly addresses the need for government decision makers and others to have sound and easily accessible foreshore-related mapping data for the Shuswap Lake Watershed at a time when the Shuswap is experiencing unprecedented growth pressures and the CSRD is introducing greater land-use regulations. Finally, this project would foster greater collaboration between local government (CSRD) and Provincial (MoE) and Federal (DFO) agencies and would aid in prioritizing critical areas for conservation and/or protection and lakeshore development.
