B.C.'s Northern Shelf Bioregion

In the Great Bear Sea on B.C's coast, the initiative will support a group representing 17 First Nations working to protect the Northern Shelf Bioregion, which includes a number of islands, rocky shorelines and deep fjords.

The government says that stretch of ocean, which has been home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years, helps to cut greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering carbon.

 

It is also home to migrating humpback whales and is a feeding ground for Bigg's whales and northern resident killer whales. It is also home to a rebounding sea otter population, kelp forests and sensitive reefs.
