The BC coast is a busy seaway, fishing ground, and ecological treasure. How do marine planners account for overlapping user demands and conflicting activities on the coast? Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a collaborative process used for ocean protection. MSP helps inform holistic plans for the coast that balance environmental, economic, social and cultural values. 

This Ocean Week 2023, learn about the ways marine spatial planning is helping protect the coast in Canada. Join Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society – British Columbia (CPAWS-BC) on Monday June 5 at 12PM (PDT) for a webinar all about MSP and how this can advance marine conservation in BC!

Hear from Marine Use Planner, Shauna Johnson (she/her)(W̱SÁNEĆ Leadership Council) about their work exploring the ways MSP supports community stewardship on the South Coast of BC.
