WHO WE ARE

Rebuilding Our Community & Commercial Fisheries

Coastal Nations Fisheries (CNF) is a transformative fishing company on BC’s North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii, collaboratively owned by eight First Nations—Gitga’at, Gitxaała, Haida, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai’xais, Metlakatla, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv.

 

After years of negotiations between coastal First Nations and the federal government aimed at revitalizing fisheries on the North Pacific Coast, the creation of Coastal Nations Fisheries is a critical step in ensuring marine life sustains coastal communities into the future, just as they have for thousands of years.

The following are the eight Nation shareholders of Coastal Nations Fisheries.
