NVISEA was established in 1983 to aid in the recovery of salmonid stocks and habitat in North Vancouver Island rivers. As a non-profit community organization, NVISEA is led by a nine-member volunteer Board of Director’s representing local conservation, environmental, fisheries, forestry and First Nation’s groups. Based out of Port Hardy, NVISEA is active on both the east and west coasts of Northern Vancouver Island.
Our activities include fish culture, stock assessment, in-stream rehabilitation and restoration, community education and stewardship, environmental monitoring and community partnering. NVISEA operates the Quatse River Hatchery, O'Connor Lake Net Pens, Quatse River Regional Park and Campground, Quatse River Dam and partners with the Friends of the Marble River Society at the Marble River Hatchery.
