Marine Plan Partnership for the North Pacific Coast (MaPP)

The MaPP initiative is a partnership between the Province of British Columbia and 16 member First Nations that developed and is implementing marine use plans for B.C.’s North Pacific Coast. The initiative used science and local and traditional knowledge to develop four sub-regional plans and a regional action framework. The MaPP plans provide recommendations for key areas of marine management, including uses, activities and protection. The plans inform decisions regarding the sustainable economic development and stewardship of British Columbia’s coastal marine environment.
