Living by Water

The Living by Water Project was started by Clive Callaway and Sarah Kipp, two shoreline residents who have lived for many years beside the water in British Columbia. Their goal was to provide Canadians with a wide range of tools, resources and information designed to help protect and restore shorelines across Canada.

Nature Canada is the national coordinator of the program.

The Living by Water Project focuses on shorelines along all types of water bodies – rivers, streams, creeks, canals, lakes, ponds, wetlands, reservoirs, estuaries, and marine shore lands. Through the Living by Water web site, you can obtain information to protect your shoreline property, prevent problems like erosion, and protect water quality, fish and wildlife habitat.

The program also gives local stewardship groups and cottage associations the means to carry out shoreline awareness and outreach programs in their own community.
