The revised Stakeholder Engagement Strategy has been released. The PNCIMA Initiative website states that "the Engagement Strategy is intended to be a ‘living’ document, which the PNCIMA Planning Office will continue to modify as we learn about what works and what can be improved. Ongoing public feedback will be critical to informing these modifications." get strategy>>
There is also a cover note for the strategy that summarizes how the revised document differs from the orginal one, based on the feedback the planning office received. get cover note >>
Why Pncima?
Pncima is the name Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) gave to this huge ocean area when they designated it the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area (pronounced pin-SEE-ma).
Globally, this region is precious because of its staggering natural diversity, filled with species and spaces found nowhere else on Earth. B.C.'s central and north coast marine environments are a priceless biological treasure supporting a diversity of fish, deep sea creatures, tidal life, porpoises and whales. Pncima offers inspiration for art and culture, provides a livelihood for thousands of people and its unique heritage attracts visitors from all over the world. Pncima matters to everybody.
Pncima encompasses 88, 000 km2 and is home for 35,000 people. It stretches from the Canada-Alaska border in the north, to Brooks peninsula on Northwest Vancouver Island, and Quadra Island and Bute Inlet in the south. more>>
PncimaMatters Hosts Living Oceans Society, David Suzuki Foundation and the Sierra Club of BC host PncimaMatters. We believe the ecological integrity and economic importance of Pncima can only be guaranteed through an integrated plan, and that integrated planning can only be accomplished through the meaningful participation of the people who live and work in Pncima.
