Bishop Bay-Monkey Beach Corridor Conservancy is a small wedge-shaped BC Parks conservancy by Bishop Cove on the east side of Ursula Channel. BC Parks says it lies within the larger Bishop Bay-Monkey Beach Conservancy.
The conservancy is only accessible by boat and is located 50 kilometres east of Hartley Bay and 75 kilometres south of Kitimat.
Boat planning matters.
This corridor conservancy is a narrow, remote marine-access area with limited facilities and a specific management history. BC Parks says it was established to allow road construction for access to timber harvesting operations outside and east of the conservancies.
The official page lists no facilities in the conservancy, though it notes a Haisla Nation cabin nearby at Bishop Cove in adjacent Bishop Bay-Monkey Beach Conservancy. Activities include cold ocean swimming, kayaking for adventurous and experienced paddlers, and hunting during open season.
The conservancy is in the asserted traditional territories of the Haisla, Gitga'at, and Gitxaala Nations. It was designated in 2007 after North Coast Land and Resource Management Plan recommendations, and reactivation of the log landing site and logging road was completed that summer.
Plan around boat-only access, cold-water swimming, experienced shoreline kayaking, hunting in season, Bishop Cove route awareness, conservancy-boundary research, and marine chart planning.
There are no facilities. Use Marine Chart 3743 and 1:50,000 topographic map 103 H/7, check marine weather and tides, confirm hunting rules, respect nearby First Nations interests, and review BC Parks updates.
