Foreshore Development Guide
Resource description:
This Foreshore Development Guide (FDG) provides development planning guidelines, aimed at protecting sensitive fish and wildlife species and their habitats identified through the previous FIM and Foreshore Habitat Sensitivity Index (FHSI) analyses. The FDG is an initial tool used when planning for, prescribing, or reviewing riparian and shoreline alterations. Based on the environmental (species and habitat) values, the FDG identifies the levels of risk associated with shoreline alteration from various types of development activities. The risks identify the anticipated regulatory steps required to proceed with the project. The guidelines provide important information to support both the landowner in preparing foreshore work applications, and the government agencies during their review of the applications.

| Data collection info | The Nicola Lake Cultural Overview Assessment, supported by Kwusen Research and Media, employed three primary research methods. A desktop review analyzed over a decade’s worth of UNB research, encompassing more than 100 oral history and mapping interviews and over 200 Indigenous Land Use (ILU) Values in the UNB’s Community KnowledgeKeeper database. In-office interviews with UNB community members captured additional ILU Values, stories, and concerns regarding Nicola Lake’s cultural, spiritual, and ecological significance. Finally, field trips with elders recorded significant sites along the lake’s shoreline using GeoKeeper, UNB’s field data app. |
