At Green Wave Marine, we follow a protocol for obtaining permits so the process is smooth and efficient. Here are the steps to obtaining a foreshore permit for private mooring:
1. Determine your personal needs regarding ocean access.
2. Design and price a private moorage system that fits your personal needs and wants.
3. Survey the foreshore in front of your property with a marine construction contractor to determine the most appropriate location for moorage.
4. Submit a private moorage tenure application package to the Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations (FrontCounterBC). This can be prepared personally or by a contracted permitting agency.
5. Submit an application to Transport Canada as required by the Navigable Waters Protection Act.
6. As part of your private moorage application process, you may be required to have a biophysical survey of the sea floor conducted or an archeological review of the foreshore fronting your property.
Green Wave Marine has the experience and knowledge to take care of all of your permitting needs.
