Alberni Inlet, Natural inlet in Vancouver Island, Canada.
The Alberni Inlet extends 40 kilometers from Barkley Sound into Vancouver Island, maintaining a width between 1 and 2 kilometers throughout its length.
Spanish explorer Francisco de Eliza named the inlet after Captain Pedro de Alberní y Teixidor, who commanded forces at Nootka Sound from 1790 to 1792.
The inlet encompasses territories of five Indigenous nations: the Ucluelet, Uchucklesaht, Huu-ay-aht, Hupacasath, and Tseshaht peoples who maintain their connections to these waters.
The waterway provides access to year-round salmon fishing, with spring salmon arriving in March, sockeye in June, and fall Chinook runs offering large catches.
The inlet features two distinct basins separated by a shallow area, with depths of 40 meters near Barkley Sound and 37 meters at Sproat Narrows.
