Multiple Resource Value Assessment - Sunshine Coast District - South Coast Region - Web Viewer

Multiple Resource Value Assessments [(MRVA)](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/forestry/managing-our-forest-resources/integrated-resource-monitoring/forest-range-evaluation-program/frep-multiple-resource-value-assessments) are a summary of existing resource value monitoring and assessment information for a given geographic area that have been developed to provide an important foundation for Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resources and Rural Development (FLNRORD) Modernized Land Use Planning in British Columbia.

A MRVA includes the results of monitoring and assessment from a variety of sources where available and appropriate, such as the Forest and Range Evaluation Program [(FREP)](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/forestry/managing-our-forest-resources/integrated-resource-monitoring/forest-range-evaluation-program) and other stewardship reporting. In addition, each report contains a Provincial government statutory decision maker commentary on government expectations for the management of resource values. In some cases, reports have been developed in collaboration with Indigenous groups for a hereditary land, and include a First Nations commentary. The primary target audience includes regional land use planning and resource management staff, First Nations, district managers and forest licensees.
 
[__The Multiple Resource Value Assessment for the Sunshine Coast Natural Resource District__](https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=2f1aeab716db49d4b687846ec9672926) presented here uses visualization and mapping tools to communicate past and current status of selected priority resource values to support common understanding of the status, trends and causal factors associated with resource values. The main goal of these reports is to help efficient decision making at operational, tactical and strategic levels. This MRVA currently includes the results of monitoring carried out for riparian, water quality, visual quality, stand level biodiversity, fish passage and fisheries sensitive watersheds. Data for other values will be added over time.
