Bella Coola Estuary Conservancy
Bella Coola Estuary Conservancy was established as a part of the government’s land use decision in the Central Coast planning area. The conservancy is situated where freshwater from the Bella Coola River empties into the North Bank Arm, creating an area rich in biodiversity.
This critical estuarine habitat is used by migratory birds, fish and mammal species. Juvenile pink, chum, coho, and chinook salmon, as well as cutthroat trout use the estuary. Grizzly bears, and numerous species of birds including trumpeter swans, Barrow’s goldeneyes, and American widgeons also rely on the estuary.
