Coasts and Ocean | Indigenous-led Conservation
The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society – British Columbia (CPAWS-BC) is celebrating the establishment of the Mia-yaltwa Ha’lidzogm hoon (Me-ah-yall-twa Ha-lee-joh-gom hOH-own), the “Realm of the Salmon, Home of the Salmon,” a major milestone for marine conservation on British Columbia’s Central Coast.
The area is jointly designated by Parks Canada as a National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and by Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai’Xais, Nuxlak, Wuikinuxv, Gitxaała and Gitga’at Nations as an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area. Through the Establishment Agreement, the six First Nations, Parks Canada and British Columbia will continue working with local communities, commercial and recreational fishers, scientists, tourism operators, and other stakeholders, like CPAWS-BC, to develop a stewardship plan for the area.
