Ahousaht Stewardship Guardian Program - Maaqutusiis Hahoulthee Stewardship Society

Maaqutusiis Hahoulthee Stewardship Society (MHSS) is conducting on-going monitoring and restoration activities throughout our territory. These activities include:

• Restoring and enhancing salmon habitat in various river, creeks, and estuaries.
• Conducting sea-lice sampling to monitor impacts to wild salmon.
• Monitoring water quality in both fresh and marine ecosystems
• Patrolling territory to address any illegal activities and collecting stewardship fees from user groups using the territory for recreational activities. 
• Working on coastal clean ups along remote beaches, to minimize ocean debris and micro-plastics.
• Conducting micro-trolling sampling of juvenile chinook salmon to understand salmon marine health and gain insight in the migration of stocks and stock origin throughout Ahousaht Territory.
