8 Shawnigan Watershed Roundtable
Role of the Shawnigan Watershed Roundtable (expressed on their website) : "Successful management of our watershed will take a great many residents and agencies working together to solve land and water problems, whether it is contaminated soil dumping in the headwaters, scattered upland subdivisions, excessive logging of watershed slopes, leakage of aging septic fields into the lake, summertime powerboat congestion or clearing of foreshore vegetation as a result of ecologically insensitive residential development. The Shawnigan Watershed is extensively influenced by existing human activity and governed by a fragmented set of environmental rules belonging to numerous federal, provincial and local government agencies. Coordination and collaboration is the only way that we can solve problems that are so complicated."
