  • Conservation Options 1
    Conservation Options 1. Methodology 2. Priority Conservation Area (PCA) categories 3. Current and future human use within PCAs To identify priority conservation areas we conducted a two-part analysis: 1.) identify areas of high ecological value, and 2.) overlay these areas with existing or future human activities to identify conservation needs and opportunities. This document outlines the methods associated with part 2.). The Priority Areas document outlines the methods associated with part 1.). 1. Overlay areas of high ecological value with current and future human activities to identify conservation needs and opportunities Part 1 of our analysis identified areas of high marine ecological value in Atl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound. Many of these areas overlap with existing human activity and are therefore not suitable for formal conservation protection (e.g. marine protected areas). However, these areas present excellent opportunities for employing best management and stewardship practices. Accordingly, CORI and DSF staff conducted an assessment of current and future human activities to categorize the high ecological areas into the following groups: Category Blue Criteria: i. High ecological value ii. Insufficient current protection iii. Minimal current and future human activity, use and development Outcomes: i. Promote marine protection (e.g. no-take marine reserve, marine protected area designation, other effective area-based conservation measurements Category Green Criteria: i. High ecological value ii. Existing or potential future medium to high human use, activity and development Outcomes: i. Promote management and stewardship best practices and ecosystem restoration Given these criteria points, assigning a category depended not only on the ecological attributes present, but also the existing and potential future development proposed for the area.

  • Crown Lands Report
    The Crown Lands Of Bowen Island. An Inventory and Assessment of Resources and Values This version in PDF format. Some formatting differs from the original text, and the Table of Contents page numbers do match exactly. The overall content is the same. C Dunster & Associates Environmental Consultants Ltd. Bowen Island, BC. November 2000 The Crown Lands of Bowen Island Dunster & Associates Environmental Consultants Ltd. November 2000 Page 1 Summary The Crown Lands on Bowen Island represent 40% of the island’s land base. They extend from sea level to the highest summits and plateaus on the island. Seven main blocks of land, the Ecological Reserve, and Apodaca Provincial Park form the bulk of the Crown Land areas. In addition there are numerous small road rights of way and small park areas created at the time of subdivision, some parcels that have defaulted back to the Crown for non-payment of taxes, shoreline reserves, and one parcel bequeathed to the Crown on the condition that it forever remain in a natural condition. Most of the Crown Land on Bowen Island is forested, generally with older second growth forest in the 100 to 150 year old age class. Evidence of past logging and fire is seen across the entire island, along with old skid trails, and corduroy roads. Ecological Reserve # 48 encompasses a large tract of land on the south side of the island, and by linkage to Apodaca Provincial Park provides an excellent sea to sky linkage for wildlife. Because of their extensive influence on the island, the Crown land areas directly affect water quality, quantity, and groundwater flow rates by season.
