Wildlife Management. The Nass Wildlife Committee, a tripartite body created under the Nisga’a Final Agreement, provides advice about wildlife management and harvest within the 16,101 square kilometre Nass Wildlife Area. British Columbia uses this information to establish the total annual harvest levels and approves the annual Nass Wildlife Management Plan. During the reporting period, British Columbia conducted mountain goat population assessment studies at a cost of $40,000, which led to changes in harvest and hunting regulations for some goat populations. From an estimated moose population of 1,400, the Nisga’a were allocated 126. An accurate estimate of the bear population could not be attained, so no domestic allocation was established. Under the terms of the Fiscal Financing Agreement, B.C. provided $20,000 to the Nisga’a Nation for wildlife management. Anhluut’ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga’asanskwhl Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park is jointly managed by the Nisga’a Nation and British Columbia through the Joint Park Management Committee (jpmc). The committee was established in 1992, and continues under provisions of the Nisga’a Final Agreement. During the 2002 season, 2,600 camping parties used the campground at Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, an increase of over 60% from the previous season. While visitation continues to grow, it is expected that the completion of the Nisga’a Highway upgrade will help attract thousands of visitors to the region’s rich natural and cultural resources. During the reporting period, Nisga’a Lisims Government and British Columbia jointly funded the operation of the visitor centre. Additionally, B.C. funded an operation permit for the maintenance of park facilities (a $7,000 contract), and awarded a $2,000 contract for the construction of a viewing platform. Tourism The Nisga’a Nation has been in the business of commercial tourism since 1996 with the launch of Xxxx Xx’oon (House of Glacier) fishing lodge. Offering visitors remote wilderness fishing holidays, Xxxx Xx’oon is accessible only by boat or floatplane. The lodge is located approximately 30 kilometres south of Gingolx (Kincolith) near Pearse Island and enjoys a loyal and growing clientele. Each year, the number of visitors to Nisga’a Lands continues to grow. Overland visitors, particularly from Western Canada, are eager to find out more about the land and people made famous during the negotiations of the Nisga’a Final Agreement.

Wildlife Management. The Nass Wildlife Committee, a tripartite body created under the Nisga’a Final Agreement, pro- vides advice about wildlife management and harvest within the 16,101 square kilometre Nass Wildlife Area. British Columbia uses this information to establish the total annual harvest levels and approves the annual Nass Wildlife Management Plan. During the reporting period, the committee monitored developments on the Nisga’a Highway Nisga’a Final Agreement 2001/2002 Annual Repor t 28 | 29 ¯ Kincolith Extension Project, reviewed the Kalum Land and Resources Management Plan document, and discussed both pending “species at risk” legis- lation and angling guide opportunities. Under the terms of the Fiscal Financing Agreement, B.C. provided $20,000 to the Nisga’a Nation for Nisga’a participation on the Nass Wildlife Committee. Moose, grizzly bear, and mountain goat popula- tions are the focus of the annual Nass Wildlife Management Plan. Ongoing research determines population estimates for these species within the Nass Wildlife Area. From these estimates, Total Allowable Harvest quotas are determined to calculate annual allocations. During the reporting period, the moose population was estimated to have been approximately 1,400 and the Nisga’a allocation was 126. The grizzly bear population estimate was 400 animals. With conservation as the overriding principle, the Total Allowable Harvest was determined to be five grizzlies, of which the Nisga’a allocation was two. The mountain goat population was found to be over 3,000 strong; this allowed an allocation of 34 to Nisga’a hunters. Tourism Development As an economic engine, British Columbia’s tourism industry is second only to forestry. Much of the success of this industry is tied to the province’s renowned natural beauty and wildlife. The Nisga’a Nation is eager to take part in B.C.’s tourism sector by showcasing its stunning natural environment and rich cultural heritage. To help attract visitors to the Nass Valley, British Columbia issued a commercial recreation tenure to the Nisga’a Nation. NLG, in turn, designated Lisims Backcountry Adventures, Inc. as the recip- ient of the tenure. The company is preparing to offer wilderness tourism experiences, including wilderness viewing, sport fishing, and hiking. Negotiations continued with several potential industry partners and Lisims Backcountry Adventures plans to begin operations in 2003.
