Banks Nii Łuutiksm Conservancy, Protected area in North Coast Regional District, Canada
The Banks Nii Łuutiksm Conservancy spans 19,121 hectares across the northern section of Banks Island, featuring lowland coastal muskeg, bogs, and extensive kelp beds.
The land contains multiple archaeological sites, including fish traps and fish weirs, registered with the British Columbia Archaeological Branch, indicating long-term First Nations presence.
The Gitxaala Nation maintains traditional practices within the conservancy boundaries, including the harvest of intertidal marine resources and herring spawn-on-kelp fishery.
Access to the conservancy requires boat transportation, with the nearest point of departure located in Kitkatla, situated 20 kilometers north of the protected area.
The conservancy protects extensive canopy-forming kelp stands that create habitats for diverse marine invertebrates and fish populations in the Pacific Northwest waters.
