Proposed Collaborative Management Agreement
Fraser River Transition Area

Port Metro Vancouver’s Head Leases covering the north, south and middle arms of the Fraser River expired on December 31, 2014. At that time, Port Metro Vancouver (now Port of Vancouver) did not renew the head leases and administration of the head lease area, referred toas the Fraser River Transition Area (FRTA), transitioned to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO).

Administration of the tenures within the FRTA involved a comprehensive review of the files including site visits and consultation with First Nations. Through the consultation process, stewardship of the Fraser River estuary was identified as a common concern from both First Nations and FLNRO. One of the ways in which the Province is addressing this concern is to partner with the Musqueam Indian Band (Musqueam) on stewardship through a proposed Collaborative Management Agreement.
