These issues include water quality and sustainability of this resource, impacts and finding a balance between industry such as logging with the eco-systems, a drastic decline in the Sockeye salmon populations, agricultural, recreational and residential development and sedimentation.

Work began in 2003 with initial input and assistance from BC Ministry of Environment.  A draft management plan  and strategy was developed as a baseline.  Since then, Lakelse Watershed Society has been actively involved with other agencies working on projects pertaining to water quality and quantity, sedimentation, mapping, habitat restoration projects and community education and awareness to raise the focus on stewardship.  

In 2009, the Society was successful in forming further funding partnerships and the establishment of a Coordintor position for Watershed Management. The primary purpose of this position is to faciliate and enable collaborative partnering where agencies and interest groups move forward to make joint decisions on future development, planning and management of the watershed.  This results in sharing of knowledge, resources (finanacial and personnel) and general cooperation.

The Society has directors from the Lakelse Community Association, DL6263, Snowy Owl Bay, Catt Bay Residents Association and Southwest Property Owners and is the environmental resource voice for the community and its watershed.
