Recognize the relationship between species and habitats. Take responsibility for short and long-term effects of human activity on the environment.
Our coastal waters are highways for salmon born all along the Pacific North Coast. Fishing activities in Haida Gwaii impact stocks from other territories, which in turn may impact future fishing in Haida Gwaii.
Haida Gwaii is vulnerable to the spread of invasive species that threaten fish and their habitats. Always clean, drain and dry your boat and fishing equipment to prevent spread of invasive species before arriving to the islands.
Human-related activities can have devastating impacts to the habitats and behaviors of marine mammals, seabird colonies and other wildlife. Do not feed or disturb wildlife. If you see a blow, go slow. Stay a minimum of 100m away from whales, porpoises and dolphins and 200m away from orcas.
