Marine Plan Partnership for the North Pacific Coast (MaPP)

The Marine Plan Partnership is a co-led initiative between the B.C. government and partner First Nations. Together, the partners developed four sub-regional marine plans and a regional action framework for the North Pacific Coast following an ecosystem-based management approach. The initiative used the best available science and local and traditional knowledge to make recommendations for marine uses and activities within the plan area. Plan implementation is underway.​
