COASTAL GUARDIAN WATCHMEN

Across the North Pacific Coast, Guardians have come together to form the Coastal Guardian Watchmen-a regional group that works collaboratively to steward this entire coastal region... Coastal Guardian Watchmen play a critical role in all aspects of stewardship for Coastal First Nations-ensuring resources are sustainably managed, that rules and regulations are followed and that land and marine use agreements are implemented effectively... Given its ongoing success, the Coastal Guardian Watchmen provide an example for other Indigenous stewardship programs to replicate. In 2005, the Coastal Guardian Watchmen developed their vision, which continues to guide their stewardship goals and efforts, and highlights the importance of this work.
