6.1

Support for a British Columbia Coastal Protection Strategy

Report: Councillor Amy Lubik, dated March 5, 2020

• Recommendation(s):

  
  THAT the following resolution regarding Support for a British Columbia Coastal Protection Strategy be endorsed by the City of Port Moody and forwarded for consideration at the 2020 UBCM convention as recommended in the report dated March 5, 2020 from Councillor Amy Lubik regarding Support for a British Columbia Coastal Protection Strategy:

  WHEREAS, unlike all the Atlantic provinces, BC has no comprehensive coastal and marine strategy, a BC Coastal Strategy will clearly articulate provincial jurisdiction and enable the province to better engage with other governments and communities; no marine counterpart to the BC Land Act exists, and piecemeal legislation and policy govern numerous coastal marine activities;

  AND WHEREAS a BC Coastal Strategy will provide a vision and objectives to guide actions in the increasingly crowded coastal zone and highlight the importance the government places on these vital areas such as sensitive marine ecosystems, and vulnerable species, as well as their importance to protecting our coastal communities and economies;

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT UBCM request the BC government to develop and enact a Coastal Strategy and law to leverage and coordinate the work of provincial ministries, First Nations, local communities, and stakeholder groups to preserve coastal and ocean health, halt coastal habitat loss, accelerate the completion of a network of marine protected areas to benefit fisheries, biodiversity and the economy, set marine environmental quality objectives from upland activities, and help communities adopt ecosystem-based approaches to manage risks from flooding due to extreme weather events, sea level rise, climate change, and ocean acidification;

  AND THAT Port Moody write a letter of support to the BC Minister of Environment, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation, and the Premier of British Columbia in support of a Coastal Protection Strategy.
