Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site
Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site, National marine conservation reserve in North Coast Regional District, Canada
The reserve encompasses 3,400 square kilometers of marine area with dense rainforest islands sustaining eagles, bears, whales, porpoises, and sea lions.
The Canadian parliament designated Gwaii Haanas as a National Marine Conservation Area Reserve in June 2010, following extensive consultations with local communities.
Five island archaeological villages feature resident Haida Gwaii Watchmen who share traditional stories and knowledge through guided interpretations.
The conservation area permits access solely through boats and seaplanes, requiring visitors to obtain permits and complete mandatory orientation sessions.
The management of Gwaii Haanas involves collaboration between Parks Canada, the Council of the Haida Nation, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
