Broughton Archipelago Conservancy

Highlights in this conservancy

Broughton Archipelago Conservancy was established as part of government’s land use decision in the Central Coast planning area. The islands and islets of the conservancy have been utilized by First Nation peoples for generations and are a popular marine destination for kayakers and pleasure boaters.

The conservancy also protects important habitat for marine birds and wildlife, and adds to the area already protected by the existing Broughton Archipelago Marine Park.
