"In 2023 the area surrounding the Hoeya Head Sill in Knight Inlet was designated the Gwaxdlala/Nalaxdlala (Lull/Hoeya) Marine Refuge. This area is within the marine portion of the Gwaxdlala/Nalaxdlala Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area declared by the Mamalilikulla First Nation in 2021. The shallow sill contains unique geomorphological and oceanographic features that contribute to the high biodiversity observed in the area, including rare and unique species normally found at much greater depths. The designation of this area as an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area and a Marine Refuge is a notable step to protect marine life, and their habitats and ecosystems, including unique aggregations of corals and sponges. This technical report provides a summary of scientific data compiled by Science Branch at Fisheries and Oceans Canada on the geology, oceanography, ecology, and fishing activities in the area of the Gwaxdlala/Nalaxdlala (Lull/Hoeya) Marine Refuge"--Abstract, page vi.
