Where Heritage Meets Harvest: Celebrating Generations of Ocean Stewards
Our aquaculture site, held in high esteem by the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw community, serves as a living testament to the enduring relationship between the land and its caretakers. This site remains a haven of abundant resources, where seafood has flourished for time immemorial. Informed by historical wisdom and inspired by future aspirations, a new generation of the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw community continues to cultivate and harvest these aquatic treasures. Utilizing deep-water trays along the Central Pacific Coast, our shellfish are reared with the utmost respect for ancestral methods and environmental sustainability.
