Looking forward to hearing from @taotaotasi.bsky.social, Chief Danielle Shaw from #Wuikinuxv Nation, Eduardo Nájera-Hillman, and Nélida Barajas Acosta on approaches to ocean #conservation - close to home in the #GreatBearSea and in other parts of the world. 🐟

BC also has an MPA network in the making, the #GreatBearSea MPA Network, a result of long term planning, collaboration and stewardship by 17 First Nations along the coast. Learn more below.

Ten years after a 2014 agreement, the Indigenous-led marine protected area network in the #GreatBearSea is moving from promises to real action 🌊🤝. Seventeen #FirstNations are planning protections, launching ranger programs, and investing 🇨🇦 CA$335 million into conservation and local economies 🐋🌲.

It's also an important step in the continued establishment of the #GreatBearSea Marine Protected Area Network, furthering commitments made in the Great Bear Sea Project Finance for Permanence funding initiative. Read our full reaction: www.wcel.org/media-releas...

The ChariTree Foundation is encouraged by a major step toward federal protection for the Great Bear Sea along British Columbia’s Central Coast:

"People on this coast know that the only way to defeat a monster and find a passage to a better future is to stay in the canoe and paddle forward. Together."

No tankers. No spills. No compromise! Tell your MP and the Minister of Transport to defend the Great Bear Sea and uphold the tanker ban. To protect our coast, take action now.
