WE LOVE THE COAST

The coastline of British Columbia extends for 30,000km, stretching from the Salish Sea upwards to Alaska, encompassing numerous islands in between.

The coast is our lifeline; it serves an irreplaceable role in ecological health, our well-being, and livelihood. Unfortunately, BC’s coast faces ongoing threats from habitat loss, pollution, and the intensifying impacts of climate change. 

That’s why we launched Blueprint for the Coast – a campaign by CPAWS-BC and West Coast Environmental Law calling for British Columbia to implement a Coastal Marine Strategy in partnership with First Nations to better protect and manage the coast. 

On July 11, 2024 the Government of BC released its first Coastal Marine Strategy.
