Description

This Draft Plan starts the discussion of securing public access to the Bow River for current and future river users. There are substantial knowledge deficiencies such as carrying capacity for the Bow River fishery; the long-term impacts of whirling disease and invasive species, location of important waterfowl and nesting areas; social capacity of the day use areas, overnight use on islands; historic and pre-historic resources; and First Nation traditional use. The GOA acknowledges that more information is required to achieve the outcomes of this Draft Plan and potentially expand the Bow River access sites beyond the current scope. However, the GOA recognizes rivers users are out there now and there is a Crown duty to deal with the current deficiencies at the sites. This Draft Plan provides information on the short-term actions (2017/2018) and potential options for the future.
