The Council of the Haida Nation and the Province of British Columbia established a new governance structure that will oversee the implementation of the CHN – BC Haida Gwaii Marine Plan Implementation Agreement (2016). The Marine Management Board is a senior-level joint decision-making body with roles and responsibilities that include providing direction to a joint Haida Gwaii Marine Implementation Technical Team, reviewing annual work plans and budgets, evaluating progress and addressing implementation challenges.
The Haida Gwaii Marine Management Board met for the first time in June 2017 at the CHN office in Skidegate, and will continue to meet on a quarterly basis. Stay tuned for more information on Haida Gwaii Marine Plan implementation on the MaPP Facebook page!
