The Morice Land & Resource Management Plan (LRMP) area covers about 1.5 million hectares on the western edge of the British Columbia interior plateau. This plan document is intended to provide the Morice LRMP area with direction on how to manage land & resources when considering economic development opportunities. It begins with a description of the plan process, then presents findings of analyses of opportunities for economic development in the following sectors: forestry; minerals, oil, gas, & energy; tourism & recreation; non-timber forest products; agriculture; and commercial fisheries. For each sector, the report includes a sectoral overview & a development strategy and identifies specific opportunities for development along with a market analysis & location analysis for each.
This base case assessment examines the future implications of environmental risk for the Morice Land & Resource Management Plan area in British Columbia if management practices used today continue to be used without change in the future. The report first describes the environmental setting of the area, including its climate and ecological units, and outlines the extent to which various biogeoclimatic zones are represented within the area. The report then describes likely future consequences of current land use practices on forest age structure, focal wildlife species (grizzly bear, caribou, fisher, northern goshawk, mountain goat, moose, American marten, bull trout), special & rare ecosystems, and aquatic ecosystems & fish. Where available data warrant, trends are predicted in time by computer simulation modelling, and where not, trends are discussed subjectively.
The introduction to this report reviews the general objectives & intent of the Morice Land & Resource Management Plan and the method for socio-economic assessments of such plans. The main section presents & discusses results of an assessment of the impacts of the Plan on the following: the primary industrial sectors, including forestry, minerals & energy, agriculture, trapping, & botanical forest products; back-country tourism; the recreation sector; communities & settlements in the Plan area; and First Nations. This is followed by a brief summary of the results of the environmental risk assessment for the Plan's final land use recommendation, as well as an integrated perspective on the expected socio-economic & environmental impacts of the Plan. The final section draws conclusions about the net economic value accounting of the Plan, the effects of the Plan on economic development, and the overall social & environmental impacts of the plan. Appendices include demographic & community data for the Plan area as well as background information & statistics on the various sectors examined in this assessment.
