Mahpahkum-Ahkwuna/Deserters-Walker Conservancy
British Columbia
The Mahpahkum-Ahkwuna/Deserters-Walker Conservancy is comprised of forested islands, bare rocky islets and wave-wracked reefs in the middle of the northern entrance to Queen Charlotte Strait. As part of the Inside Passage, these waters are one of the busiest marine highways on the coast. The islands also form a series of stepping stones, providing protection for small boaters crossing the strait from Vancouver Island, to access the cruising grounds along the mainland coast.The conservancy was identified for consideration as a protected area during the Central Coast Land and Resource Management Plan planning process. Following Government to Government discussions between the Province and First Nations, the central coast land use decisions (February 7, 2006) confirmed that the Deserters and Walker Island groups would become a conservancy. The islands were legally designated as the Mahpahkum-Ahkwuna/Deserters-Walker Conservancy in Spring 2006.
