  Specific Topics of Lobbying Communications	Intended Outcomes	Associated Subject Matters
  Advocacy regarding environmental management of Coles Bay, by seeking the government of British Columbia to enact a pilot project to clean up the pollution of shellfish at Coles Bay and develop a coast-wide Healthy Shellfish Initiative. The intent of this pilot project is to facilitate the traditional shellfish harvesting of the Pauquachin First Nation in Coles Bay, and the intent of the coast-wide Healthy Shellfish Initiative is to create similar opportunities to harvest shellfish by other First Nations in their traditional territories. The particular topics of advocacy included: 1. Establish a British Columbia Healthy Shellfish Initiative, in partnership with the federal government. The rehabilitation of Coles Bay should be immediately initiated as a pilot project and model to inform the coast-wide program. 2. Set a provincial goal of recovering and re-opening 80% of closed shellfish beds by 2027. (Modelled on the goal approach of the Puget Sound Partnership) 3. Set up and support a multi-stakeholder partnership-facilitating agency to liaise between First Nations, federal and local governments, and other stakeholders. (Modelled on the Puget Sound Partnership) 4. Legally require that prompt Pollution Identification and Correction measures be taken whenever significant contamination of shellfish is detected. These efforts should be Indigenous led and include Indigenous traditional knowledge, as appropriate. 5. Legally require local multi-party restoration efforts when shellfish beds are closed for harvesting, modelled on the Shellfish Protection Districts operating in Washington State. 6. Support expansion of water-quality testing capacity and frequency to ensure that harvesting continues to be safe, with a priority given to enhance the role of First Nation Guardians and the First Nation Health Authority. 7. Create incentives for water quality improvement and shellfish bed restoration.
