Regional Projects

Beach photo of Perego Lagoon In addition to the local projects undertaken by the Marine Resources Committees, the Northwest Straits Commission takes on regional marine conservation and restoration projects determined to be high priorities for action that address the Initiative's performance benchmarks.

In some cases these are projects developed by one MRC that has been expanded to a larger area, and other projects are initiated at the regional level by the Commission. In addition to projects led by the Commission, some projects are done in partnership with other organizations, who provide a leadership role.

At left are links to some of the completed and current regional projects.
