Be Whale Wise for Paddlers in Johnstone Strait

Awarded Organization:

Cetus

Installed signage promoting safe whale viewing for paddlers.

With support from NIMMSA’s Conservation Fund, CETUS completed the “Be Whale Wise for Paddlers in Johnstone Strait”, updating outdated signage in the Qwiquallaaq / Boat Bay Conservancy to provide clear, current guidance on responsible paddling and whale protection. Durable new signs highlight the Robson Bight (Michael Bigg) Ecological Reserve, Be Whale Wise Guidelines, and acknowledge the territories of the Mamalilikulla, ‘Namgis, and Tlowitsis First Nations.
