Description

An evaluation of the historical condition, present state and future recommendations for the Kennisis Lakes Fishery.

Abstract

The purpose of this community-based research project was to use existing information about the past and present state of the Kennisis Lake fishery in order to inform the structure and focus of a fisheries management plan. Through developing a better understanding the history and current state of the lake; issues of concern; and the various needs of different community groups and stake holders; we have been able to create a set of recommendations for future projects and research that would support the development of a sustainable fishery on Kennisis Lake. As the stewardship of lakes is increasingly downloaded to the community, it is vital that a lake management plan be based on the integration of scientific recommendations and community objectives.
