As an example of land use objectives established at the regional scale, the Central and North Coast and the
South Central Coast Land Use Objective Orders support the implementation of ecosystem-based management
(EBM) for the Coast Land Use Decision area.
Map 11 shows the legal land use objective areas established under the Land Act, plus the 115 conservancies,
and 21 biodiversity, mining and tourism areas. All these areas were implemented as part of the Coast Land
Use decision. The land use objectives established under the Land Act include cedar stewardship areas, grizzly
management zones, Kermode stewardship areas, non-spatial old growth retention targets, objectives for red and
blue listed species, and aquatic objectives such as identification of fisheries sensitive watersheds, and stream and
lake buffer zones.
