  • 34 Haida Gwaii Is an Archipelago of More Than 200 Islands Located Be
    4 THE ENVIRONMENT OF HAIDA GWAII 4.1 About the Islands Haida Gwaii is an archipelago of more than 200 islands located be- tween Vancouver Island and southeast Alaska, 50–30 km off the north- ern mainland coast of British Columbia (Figure .). The archipelago is scimitar shaped, and extends 250 km from north to south. Together, Graham and Moresby Islands constitute 90% of the nearly million hectares that comprise the archipelago. These two main islands are nar- rowly separated by Skidegate Inlet and Skidegate Channel. Other large islands in the archipelago include Louise, Lyell, and Burnaby Islands off the east coast of Moresby Island, and Kunghit Island to the south of Moresby Island. The landscape of the islands is extremely varied: it ranges from broad sand beaches and dunes on the east coast to the rocky, surf-battered west coast, and from muskeg lowlands on Graham Island to the rug- ged, strongly eroded Queen Charlotte Ranges of Moresby Island. The prevailing tranquil environment of Haida Gwaii is at times interrupted by dramatic natural processes—fierce storms, high-energy surf, floods, landslides, earthquakes, and windthrow—events that substantially modify the landscape and the ecosystems of the islands. In many ways, the archipelago is a microcosm of coastal British Columbia, but it has its own distinctive, and in some respects unique, natural and cultural heritage. The lands and waters of Haida Gwaii support a rich cultural heritage. Archaeological evidence indicates continuous human presence by the Haida and their ancestors dating back 0 000–3 000 years. Today, seven main communities are located on the east and north coasts of Graham Island and on the northeast tip of Moresby Island.

First Nations, recreational, and commercial fisheries on the Pacific coast of Canada have long harvested groundfish. Groundfish serve as a source of food, they provide jobs, income, and enjoyment for individuals, businesses, and coastal communities and they play key roles in natural ecosystems. The B.C. Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for collection and reporting of data and statistics for the agri-food sector. An important part of that mandate is to analyze the impact of various sectors, including fisheries and seafood to the broader provincial economy. B.C. commercially harvests and reports on over 25 wild fisheries including Pacific halibut which is within B.C.’s top most valuable wild fishery commodities. Indigenous fisheries In the 1990 Sparrow decision, the Supreme Court of Canada found that where an Indigenous group has an Indigenous right to fish for food, social, and ceremonial (FSC) purposes, it takes priority, after conservation, over other uses of the resource.
