This dataset contains the open access data and reports for the FIMP survey carried out in Whitetail Lake in 2020. Whitetail Lake is located in the East Kootenays, approximately 28 km northwest of Canal Flats, BC. The lake has a surface area of approximately 1.66 km2 with approximately 10 km of shoreline. The lake is moderately productive and has a large littoral area covering approximately 77% of its basin. There is a BC Recreation Site on the west side of the lake and all other properties around the lake are privately held. Whitetail Lake experiences significant recreational fishing pressure from anglers targeting trophy-sized Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Eastern Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis).

This dataset contains data from a climate station at Johnsons Landing. The station is operated by Kootenay Watershed Science with the goal of improving understanding and prediction of how small- and medium-sized watersheds are going to behave in a changing climate, especially in conditions of extreme high and low precipitation.

This dataset contains the openly accessible data for the FIMP survey carried out on Kootenay Lake in 2021. The key objective of this study was to update the original FIMP that was conducted in 2012 on Kootenay Lake (Schleppe and Cormano 2016), and to document changes that have occurred over the nine-year period since the last survey. The desire to live and recreate in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia (BC), combined with the generally positive economic climate, has resulted in rapid population growth and urban development. Lake foreshore (or shoreline) residential development pressures (both permanent and seasonal) have especially increased. Kootenay Lake, with its approximate 400 km of shoreline, has seen a pronounced amount of this growth. This development inevitably impacts the natural foreshore environment. Unfortunately, these impacts can diminish the natural values that draw people to live and recreate along the foreshore in the first place.

As residential and recreational pressures on Slocan Lake escalate, questions have been raised about what measures need to be taken to balance the social, cultural, ecological, and economic values of any given area. In response to these concerns, Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM) was conducted in 2010 and included FIM field surveys, the development of an Aquatic Habitat Index (AHI) and corresponding Shoreline Management Guidelines (SMG). Eleven years had passed since the original FIM was conducted and there was an interest in updating the previous field surveys and corresponding analyses to evaluate rates of change (e.g., development), observe whether integrated policies have been working, identify additional important habitat and species at risk and update the Slocan Lake FIM dataset using standard Foreshore Integrated Management Planning (FIMP) methods that were updated in 2020.

This dataset contains the open access data and reports for the FIMP survey carried out in Moyie Lake in 2020. Moyie Lake, located in the Purcell Mountains in BC, is a unique “kettle pond” lake, the result of a depression created at the outflow of a glacier. The lake consists of 37.6 km of shoreline with a north and south basin connected by a ecologically productive narrows region in the middle. Moyie Lake is a recreation destination that has seen an increase in recreational property development in recent years.

This dataset contains the open access data and reports for the FIMP survey carried out in Windermere Lake in 2020. Windermere Lake is located in the southern interior of BC in the Rocky Mountain Trench. The lake is located near the Columbia River headwaters. The two largest communities are the District of Invermere and the community of Windermere. Windermere Lake has seen a high demand for secondary recreational and investment properties. These developments inevitably impact the natural foreshore environment through removal of riparian and aquatic vegetation, and installation of modifications such as marinas, groynes, retaining walls, and docks. Unfortunately, these impacts can diminish the natural values that draw people to live and recreate along the foreshore in the first place. Ultimately, the goal is to maintain a balance between anthropogenic and natural values to the benefit of all residents and species that rely upon the lake.

This dataset contains the openly accessible data for the FIMP survey carried out on Columbia Lake in 2021. Columbia Lake is located in the southern interior of British Columbia (BC), near Canal Flats and Fairmont Hot Springs, BC. In response to concerns over the fast pace of development and potential for important fish and wildlife habitat to be lost, Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM) was conducted in 2009 and included FIM field surveys, the development of an Aquatic Habitat Index (AHI) and corresponding Shoreline Management
Guidelines (SMG). Twelve years had passed since the original FIM was conducted and there was an interest in updating the previous field surveys and corresponding analyses to evaluate rates of change (e.g., development), observe whether integrated policies have been working, identify additional important habitat and species at risk and update the Columbia Lake FIM dataset using standard Foreshore Integrated Management Planning (FIMP) methods that were updated in 2020.

This dataset contains the open access data and reports for the FIMP survey carried out in Whiteswan Lake in 2020. Whiteswan Lake is a 378 ha montane lake nestled within the Kootenay Ranges of the Rocky Mountains in a mainly east-west orientation, approximately 30 km southeast of Canal Flats, BC. The lake is located within the Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, which was created in 1978 with the primary focus to protect the underrepresented Dry Cool Montane Spruce (MSdk) biogeoclimatic subzone ecosystem while maintaining a recreational destination for outdoor opportunities. The lake has been managed as a monoculture rainbow trout fishery since the 1960s and there are concerns of hybridization of the introduced rainbow trout with the native westslope cutthroat trout downstream of the lake, which prompted management actions. The area has significant cultural values to First Nations as it provided a geographical link between the Columbia Valley and the Elk Valley and the prairies, and was used as a marshalling point, hunting camp and was also used for religious and social events.
