The Restoration Priorities Plan for Pacific Region will establish priorities for fish habitat restoration throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. It is intended to:

• enhance restoration planning and coordination for aquatic restoration resources
• address the challenges of climate change and habitat degradation on our aquatic resources
• foster species and ecosystem recovery

We are engaged:

• all levels of government
• Indigenous people and First Nations
• environmental non-governmental organizations
• academics
• stream keepers and community groups
• development proponents
• the general public

Key questions for discussion

We sought input on the following:

• The prioritization process
• Specific regional restoration goals, objectives and priorities
• Actions that support fish habitat restoration success

The input gathered through this process was used to shape the Restoration Priorities Plan for Pacific Region.
