Coastal Invasive Plant Management Strategy ___________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invasive plants have been a problem in Coastal British Columbia (BC) since earliest European settlement but little has been done to control these species until recently. The Coastal Invasive Plant Committee (CIPC) was formed in 2005 to service Vancouver Island and surrounding coastal communities. The committee consists of public and private sector groups, First Nations, industry, utilities, and conservation groups that share a common interest in promoting coordination and cooperation to manage invasive plants in the region. The CIPC area covers approximately 60,000 km 2 including Vancouver Island, mainland coast and Gulf Islands; and consists of eight regional districts, 34 municipalities, 15 Gulf Islands, and 57 First Nations. -
Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'.
