Canada's Pacific North Coast - A global treasure
Canada’s North Pacific waters teem with life, and sustain coastal residents and their communities.
The marine environments of British Columbia’s North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii are priceless biological treasures that support a diversity of fish, deep sea creatures, inter-tidal life, seabirds and marine mammals. The natural abundance of this unique ecosystem has sustained coastal residents for centuries, and now supports the economies of coastal communities with the benefits shared across the province, Canada and the world.
Yet this bountiful area faces mounting threats, not least from proposed oil pipelines that could bring hundreds of super tankers to this unspoiled coast. There are currently opportunities for coastal residents to voice their concerns about these threats and help ensure their coastal waters are properly managed.
