Watershed Prioritization Matrix

Year 2006
Proponent LGL Limited
Project type Habitat
FSWP funding source Living Rivers
Grant amount $9,360
ID number 2006 LR 14

Location: Fraser River Basin,

Project Summary

To develop a watershed matrix to be used as a coarse filter in the selection of high priority funding areas under the Living Rivers Strategy (LRS).  Two key LRS Program Delivery areas were the focus:
• LRS Key Strategy 2a �” Water Use and Watershed Planning
• LRS Key Strategy 2c �” Protect and Restore Habitat


Final Results

This Salmon Watershed Prioritization Matrix (SWPM) was developed in fairly short order (<2 weeks) to quickly inform the PSF for a proposal submission to the British Columbia Government.  Therefore, it was not possible to thoroughly populate the matrix with all desired data.  Nevertheless, due to the availability of recent literature and analyses containing watershed-specific or stock-specific data, a good portion of the SWPM was completed to a draft stage that is believed to be sufficient for initial (2006) planning.
