Marine Plan Partnership for the North Pacific Coast

The Marine Plan Partnership for the North Pacific Coast (MaPP) is a partnership between 17 member First Nations and the Government of the Province of British Columbia that developed and is implementing marine use plans for B.C.’s North Pacific Coast, now and into the future. The MaPP plan area is divided into four sub-regions: Haida Gwaii, North Coast, Central Coast, and North Vancouver Island.

The MaPP plans provide recommendations for key areas of marine management, including uses, activities and protection. The plans inform decisions regarding the sustainable economic development and stewardship of British Columbia’s coastal marine environment.

MaPP is notable for the diversity of stakeholders it brings together and the number of marine uses, activities, and values it addresses
