"To develop a more realistic picture of how bears crisscross their territory, Housty and other Heiltsuk stewards recently partnered with academics to construct their own model of bear navigation. Their tool, which is based on a technique borrowed from electrical engineering called circuit theory and has been adapted for use in landscape ecology, gives them a way to calculate the “least cost” pathways that the bears might take to navigate the complex and densely packed forest between salmon streams.

In #BritishColumbia, the #Indigenous #Haíɫzaqv or #Heiltsuk Nation has been battling an invader: the invasive European green #crab. It gobbles up native clam and crabs and damages fish habitats. To control this crab, they set up traps containing herring and sea lion meat.
But they noticed that something or someone was stealing these traps, bringing them ashore, and grabbing the bait. Even traps placed in deep water.
It turns out the thieves were #wolves.

Clean Up the Beach in #solidarity with #Heiltsuk Nation
June 8 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Join RAVEN and #Surfrider for a World Oceans Day beach cleanup, where we’ll be fundraising for Heiltsuk Nation’s legal challenge that aims to protect #marine #ecosystems from coast to coast to coast.This year, we’re choosing to engage in #community reciprocity not just for our own local #watersheds, but as an act of solidarity with Heiltsuk Nation, whose own beach cleanup — following the Nathan E. Stewart spill — is so much more complex.
So, come out to #CloverPoint in Victoria on Sunday, June 8, 2025 from 11am-1pm for a community-powered beach cleanup. Together we are aiming to fundraise $2,000 for Heiltsuk’s legal challenge on #WorldOceansDay.

Members of the #Heiltsuk Nation in #BellaBella are calling for immediate suspension & removal of an #RCMP officer stationed in the remote coastal community for reportedly making #racist comments on social media.
One screenshot shows the officer posing in front of the Union Jack in #colonial regalia with the comment, “Now, whats to be done about these pesky #natives stirring up trouble in the colonies…?”

For generations, members of the Kitasoo Xai’xais and #Heiltsuk #FirstNations, two communities off the Central Coast region of #BritishColumbia, had noticed large groups of rockfish congregating in a fjord system

#Canada moves to protect #CoralReef that scientists say ‘shouldn’t exist’
Discovery was made after #FirstNations tipped off #ecologists about groups of fish gathering in a fjord off #BritishColumbia
by Leyland Cecco in Toronto
Fri 15 Mar 2024"On the last of nearly 20 dives, the team made a startling discovery – one that has only recently been made public.
"'When we started to see the living corals, everyone was in doubt,' says Cherisse Du Preez, head of the deep-sea ecology program at Fisheries and Oceans Canada. 'Then, when we saw the expansive fields of coral in front of us, everybody just let loose. There were a lot of pure human emotions.'
"Despite existing in absolute darkness, the lights of the submersible captured the rich pinks, yellows and purples of the #corals and #sponges.
"The following year, the team mapped #LopheliaReef, or #q̓áuc̓íwísuxv, as it has been named by the #Kitasoo Xai’xais and #Heiltsuk First Nations. It is the country’s only known living coral reef.
"The discovery marks the latest in a string of instances in which Indigenous knowledge has directed researchers to areas of scientific or historic importance. More than a decade ago, #Inuk oral historian Louie Kamookak compared #Inuit stories with explorers’ logbooks and journals to help locate Sir John Franklin’s lost ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. In 2014, divers located the wreck of the Erebus in a spot Kamookak suggested they search, and using his directions found the Terror two years later."

"'When we started to see the living corals, everyone was in doubt,' says Cherisse Du Preez, head of the deep-sea ecology program at Fisheries and Oceans Canada. 'Then, when we saw the expansive fields of coral in front of us, everybody just let loose. There were a lot of pure human emotions.'
"Despite existing in absolute darkness, the lights of the submersible captured the rich pinks, yellows and purples of the #corals and #sponges.
"The following year, the team mapped #LopheliaReef, or #q̓áuc̓íwísuxv, as it has been named by the #Kitasoo Xai’xais and #Heiltsuk First Nations. It is the country’s only known living coral reef.
"The discovery marks the latest in a string of instances in which Indigenous knowledge has directed researchers to areas of scientific or historic importance. More than a decade ago, #Inuk oral historian Louie Kamookak compared #Inuit stories with explorers’ logbooks and journals to help locate Sir John Franklin’s lost ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. In 2014, divers located the wreck of the Erebus in a spot Kamookak suggested they search, and using his directions found the Terror two years later."
