A Co-ordinated Project Review Process, under FREMP, provides a review of
proposed projects and activities in the Estuary. Initiated in 1986, this
process has streamlined several government referral Systems that were
already in existence, and has eliminated needless duplication and overlap
between agencies. Now developers, industries and public agencies have
clear guidelines to follow when seeking project approval and a Single
"window" through which to submit their proposals. Consequently, this
system is much more efficient than previous referral systems. One feature
of the Review Process is the creation of a Central Project Registry, a
filing system of all project applications in the Secretariat office at

708 Clarkson Street in New Westminster that is open to any person or
organization. Since starting in 1986, the Review Process has handled over
300 project applications.

FREMP Activity Programs are being prepared to deal with the following

Estuary-wide issues:

Port and Industrial Development
Navigation and Dredging

Habitat Management

Waste Management

Log Management
