Multiple Resource Value Assessment - Coast Mountains District - Skeena 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.

MRVAs include the results of monitoring and assessment from a variety of sources where available and appropriate, including 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). In addition, each report contains a Provincial government statutory decision maker commentary on government expectations for the management of resource values. The primary target audience includes regional land use planning and resource management staff, First Nations, district managers and stewardship staff, and forest licensees.

[__The Multiple Resource Value Assessment for the Coast Mountains Natural Resource District__](https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=e2ebe950412a4d7c9c41eae38b48f788) 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, and cultural heritage. Data for other values may be added over time. This monitoring was carried out by the Forest and Range Evaluation Program (FREP) stewardship staff. FREP was established in 2003 for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the results-based Forest and Range Practices Act [(FRPA)](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/00_02069_01). FREP effectiveness evaluations are not intended to assess and report on compliance with legal requirements. They are science-based protocols to evaluate the condition of FRPA resource values on the ground, and the effectiveness of practices in conserving these values, intended to support professional dialogue and continuous improvement to forest and range practices.
