Kwatna Estuary Conservancy

Highlights in this conservancy

Kwatna Estuary Conservancy was established as part of government’s land use decision in the Central Coast planning area. Kwatna River flows into Kwatna Inlet creating an estuary with meandering channels and a large tidal flat area. The conservancy serves as a feeding area for grizzly bears and as important habitat for juvenile salmon. The conservancy has very high cultural heritage.
