Baeria Rocks - Ecological Reserve

Purpose

Ecological Reserves are areas in British Columbia selected to preserve representative and special natural ecosystems, plant and animal species, features, and phenomena. Ecological Reserves provide the highest level of protection for the maintenance of physical and biological diversity while allowing for research and educational activities.

This ecological reserve is closed to the public.

Baeria Rocks Ecological Reserve was established to protect nesting seabirds, and to preserve rich intertidal and subtidal communities for research and educational purposes.
