Produced for Coastal First Nations. 30-minutes
Hear stories of First Nations leaders, government partners and people who live along the British Columbia coast — about the collaborative work underway to protect their home and one of the richest marine ecosystems on the planet. The resulting Great Bear Sea Marine Protected Area (MPA) Network will be the world’s largest Indigenous-led, collaboratively developed, ecologically robust MPA network and is a ground-breaking model for Indigenous collaborative governance.
There are two films in this series
For the past two decades, First Nations have been working collaboratively with federal and provincial governments to create The Great Bear Sea Network of Marine Protected Areas that will safeguard the North Pacific Coast region’s diverse ecosystems and abundant marine life, while ensuring that First Nations’ cultural priorities and traditional harvesting uses and coastal livelihoods are sustained.
