About Us

Living Oceans Society has been a leader in the effort to protect Canada’s Pacific coast since we formed in 1998. We are based in Sointula, a small fishing village on the Central Coast of British Columbia, yet our influence is national.

We are the largest organization in Canada focusing exclusively on marine conservation.

Living on the coast, we are reminded each day that it’s not just about the fish—it’s about the fish and the people. We advocate for oceans that are managed for the common good, according to science-based policies that consider ecosystems in their entirety.

Our contributions are helping to reduce harmful human impacts on the ocean.
