Clayoquot Sound Watershed Plans

On October 15, 2003, the first three official Clayoquot Sound Watershed Plans were brought into effect, after being endorsed by the two parties of the Clayoquot Sound Interim Measures Extension Agreement, i.e. the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Central Region Chiefs and the Province of British Columbia.

These plans cover the Flores, Cypre and Bedingfield watershed planning units, and were prepared by the Clayoquot Sound Technical Planning Committee, co-chaired by representatives from the First Nations and from the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management. The plans are the first of a total of 12 watershed plans to be completed in Clayoquot Sound.

The watershed plans were developed in accordance with the principles and recommendations set out by the Scientific Panel for Sustainable Forest Practices in Clayoquot Sound. The plans will guide site-level forest planning and forest harvesting by identifying reserved areas, which are excluded from logging, and harvestable areas, where forestry operations will be implemented in accordance with the Science Panel's vision, goals and objectives for sustainable ecosystem management. Furthermore, the plans include special management areas, including culturally significant areas identified by First Nations, where practices will be subject to additional restrictions and conditions in order to safeguard sensitive values. Finally, the plans also specify the rate-of-cut limits that apply in pertinent watersheds and drainages in accordance with Science Panel recommendations, to ensure that watershed integrity is maintained.
