“Conservation is not the zero-sum game many are trying to portray it to be and can peacefully coexist with, and in some cases, enhance industry.”
The Qalipu and Miawpukek Nations have issued a joint statement on protecting our waters, supporting our communities. The goal of the National Marine Conservation Area (NMCA) has always been to enhance the cooperation between people, preserve a way of life, and open new opportunities. However, the statement says “It is both sad and unfortunate that the discourse of late seems to be dominated by politics of division when the seeds of this project were planted with an honest intent to grow together.” As well, “Conservation is not the zero-sum game many are trying to portray it to be and can peacefully coexist with, and in some cases, enhance industry.” The Qalipu and Miawpukek Nations issued the statement to assure the public that bands are committed to cooperation, mutual respect and a wish to accommodate all stakeholders in shared lands.
