The British Columbia Marine Parks Forever Society was formed as a vehicle to
raise seed money to assist in the purchase of suitable properties for use as
marine parks.
The Society has been in existence since 1989. The original plan
was to raise these funds by asking recreational boaters to donate $10 a year.
We now also receive money from the general public through boat shows, private
donation and estate legacies. Proceeds from the sale of the B. C. Marine Parks
Guide, produced by the publishers of Pacific Yachting, go to the Society. All
Society members are volunteers. Your entire donation is applied to the purchase
of parks.
As population increases and urban areas expand, land is lost to the public.
The Society plays an active role in ensuring more marine parkland is available
by providing technical input and seed money to encourage governing bodies to
purchase suitable properties for marine parks.
This promotes the growth of marine parks in the province of British Columbia.
