Snuneymuxw Marine Division

The Snuneymuxw Marine Division oversees the natural ecosystems in our territorial waters for the benefit of local fish and all marine creatures living in and passing through our waters.

We support the long-term strategy of increasing Snuneymuxw presence within the marine environment while ensuring that culturally and sacred sites are protected, and food security is maintained.
