CBWM Film Series: Foreshore Integrated Management Planning (FIMP)

Community-based Water Monitoring, or CBWM, is gaining momentum across Canada and is a powerful means of achieving shared water management and sustainability objectives.

Foreshore Integrated Management Planning or FIMP is a lake survey methodology that helps First Nations, non-profit organizations, municipalities, and landowners understand lake foreshore habitat values and the prospective risks from proposed shore-altering activities.

FIMP documents the foreshore condition of the entire lake and identifies, classifies, and provides an estimate of value for important habitats that should be protected or conserved from development, preferably in legally binding covenants or lakeshore management plans.
