Coast Land Use Decision Implementation

North Coast Plan Implementation and Monitoring Committee (NC PIMC)

The information below is no longer current as it reflects a North Coast process that ended in March 2009. Please click here for current information on Central and North Coast EBM Implementation.

The NC PIMC is comprised of 12-15 members who can collectively represent all the major resource value perspectives in the NC LRMP area including local government and First Nations. The purpose of the NC PIMC is to monitor and inform on progress toward implementation of the land use plan and make recommendations on plan revisions to Provincial and First Nation governments through the Land and Resource Forums (LRFs)

The LRFs are committees composed of First Nations and Provincial Government representatives that make recommendations to the Provincial and First Nations governments on the further development of EBM and implementation of the land use plan.

The NC PIMC will also work with the EBM Working Group (EBM WG). The purpose of the EBM WG is to develop recommendations on EBM research priorities and on the application of research results to the implementation of EBM, oversee research related to uncertainties or knowledge gaps in EBM implementation and coordinate and manage data.

The North Coast Plan area boundaries encompass approximately 1.7 million hectares. The population of the plan area is approximately 17,000. Most of the inhabitants live in Prince Rupert. Other communities include, Gitxaala, Hartley Bay, Lax Kw'alaams, Metlakatla, Oona River and Port Edward. Most of these communities are remote and are accessible only by air or water.
