“If we let this slide this year again, we risk losing more coral fans,” said marine zoologist Neil McDaniel.
The fate of a rare and splendid coral garden in a remote B.C. inlet is still on the line pending a decision by the federal government to establish interim protections before the fishing season launches this spring.
The Mamalilikulla First Nation and DFO have managed to establish a positive dialogue around the IPCA, and discussions continue about the protection and management of Hoeya Sound, said Mamalilikulla Chief Coun. Winidi, or John Powell. “However, we’re confident that with our interests now aligned, and given [Ottawa’s] recent COP15 commitments to land and marine protection, we’ll see an accelerated process."
“It’s good news they’ve committed to protecting the area, but it’s a bit watered down because there's no definitive timeframe,” he said.
