Sechelt Inlets Coastal Strategy: Conflict Resolution Using Consensus-Based Planning and Computer G.I.S.

by Catherine Berris, Catherine Berris Associates Inc, Vancouver, Canada,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Coastal Zone '91

Abstract:

This project was initiated by local government to develop a strategy for the planning and management of coastal resources in an area with a fragile environment, and heavy user demands for aquaculture, forestry and recreation uses. A Working Committee of representatives from federal, provincial and local governments, industry and the community worked together using a consensus-based approach to planning. Information on land status, land use, and user and agency interests was documented in a computer Geographic Information System. The result of the project is an overall strategy for the Sechelt Inlets; including goals and objectives, an Area Designation Plan with policies, and tools for implementation and monitoring.
