Okanagan Large Lakes Foreshore Protocol


okanagan lake
Foreshore and riparian areas are important to fish and wildlife species, including species at risk.

During the planning and evaluation of works affecting the foreshore, consideration needs to be given to applicable legislation and to ensuring that any works do not impose direct or long term cumulative impacts to fish and wildlife species and their habitats.

The Okanagan Large Lakes Foreshore Protocol elaborates on the strategic direction provided of the Okanagan Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan (OSLRMP), and provides a forum for continuous improvements to fish and species at risk habitat information and the management of risks to those habitats. This is intended to assist provincial and federal agencies, local governments, and the general public during the planning of developments, lower level planning (e.g., zoning) and/or the adjudication of applications for specific development activities (e.g., applications for foreshore leases for docks, boat launches or marinas).
