What are the objectives of the Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) Pilot Projects?
The pilots are testing the usefulness of LAC in a B.C. context for potential broader application in order to better integrate public and commercial recreation use. The objectives of the pilot projects are; • Test the utility of the LAC system for public recreation and adventure tourism in B.C. in two pilot areas; (1) Johnstone Strait (‘Johnstone pilot area’), and (2) area near Golden, B.C. (‘Golden pilot area’); • Examine environmental and experiential issues in the two pilots so that use can be sustained without unacceptably impacting the environment or user experiences; and • Propose how the LAC system could be used in other areas of British Columbia.
