Approach

Manage recreation use and infrastructure to minimize impacts with change in human use.

Tactics

  • Manage riparian areas to keep water cool to sustain fish habitat.
  • Locate facilities and infrastructure based on anticipated future demands in light of climate change, recreation demand, dispersed uses.
  • Inventory and track the heaviest use and/or damage in dispersed camp areas; prevent expansion by placing rocks or blocking access; mitigate impacts; enforce occupancy limits.
