10.1 Regional Conservation Plan – Briefing 
 
 Jennifer Eliason, Manager of the Trust Fund, presented the Regional Conservation Plan.  
Discussion ensued and questions and answers followed: 
 Is there any flexibility of the three year reviews of the ten year plan when new situations 
and opportunities arise? 
o Prioritization is based on merit, not geography, that the three year review of work 
plan is adaptive, to be updated or re-evaluated as required 
 Are there tools available for Marine Protected Areas? 
o When working with Crown Land, tools are limited and also First Nations Treaties 
need to be considered; monitoring and policing is not really possible, however, 
stewardship agreements are a possibility.

Manager Eliason presented the Islands Trust Fund Five Year Plan, discussion followed 
and thanks were extended to her for her work on these plans.
