Today, the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai’xais, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv Nations signed a MOU with federal officials to launch a feasibility assessment for a national #marine conservation area reserve on the Central Coast.
The reserve would protect the region’s diverse and abundant marine species, including #humpback whales, #orcas, sea otters and sea lions, as well as the many terrestrial species that depend on these healthy ecosystems.
