This conservancy consists of the extensive mudflats and shallow intertidal passages around DeHorsey Island and along the lower Skeena River.
This area protects important migratory and wintering waterfowl habitat, and critical juvenile salmon habitat. Several rare species, including the red-listed western grebe, and the blue-listed trumpeter swan and great blue heron, have been recorded in the wetlands.
