The Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area (PNCIMA) initiative’s aim is engaging all interested parties in the collaborative development and implementation of an integrated management plan for PNCIMA. Supporting this effort is a reference atlas (website), complementary to the BCMCA atlas, with 60 themes relevant to the PNCIMA planning process, including communities, ecologically and biologically significant areas, and point source pollution.
