The Comox Valley Regional District took the lead in revising the Courtenay River Management Plan (CREMP) in 2009. Project Watershed, through the then Estuary Working Group, along with other stakeholders such as Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Ministry of Transportation, K’omoks First Nation etc… worked together to revise the document. The most obvious being the change from calling the Courtenay River Estuary to the K’ómoks Estuary in honor of the K’omoks First Nation – so the CREMP has become the KEMP.
