Clear Seas recognizes the unique rights of Indigenous Peoples – including First Nations, Inuit and Métis – in Canada, as protected under Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution and as defined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We strive to build respectful relationships and actively involve Indigenous communities in carrying out our mission to identify marine shipping issues and share knowledge for sustainable marine shipping.
Clear Seas’ head office is located on the unceded and shared territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in Vancouver, BC. Our work takes place across Canada on the treatied and unceded lands and waters of First Nations and Inuit peoples.
