About
Located on the North Coast of BC, Lax Kwaxl/Dundas and Melville Islands Conservancy is an archipelago that contains significant marine values and is rich in cultural history. It includes both upland and marine areas for the islands of Zayas, Dundas, Baron, Dunira and Melville, as well as a large number of associated smaller islands.
With approximately 640 km of shoreline, it provides safe anchorages and high-quality marine-based recreational and tourism opportunities. It is a popular destination for boating, fishing and kayaking.
There are multiple Lax Kw’alaams reservation lands (Indian Reserves) within the conservancy. However, they are not conservancy lands and are excluded from the conservancy boundaries. Access to these areas is limited to Lax Kw’alaams members.
