In collaboration with local community groups and Central Region Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, researchers at the University of Victoria have developed a Standard of Conduct for Research in Northern Barkley and Clayoquot Sound Communities. This work was sponsored by the Clayoquot Alliance for Research, Education and Training, a partnership between the University of Victoria and the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust. The partnership was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council under its Community-University Research Alliance program.
The Standard of Conduct is an agreed set of principles, guidelines and practical tips for research conduct that acknowledges community expectations, First Nations customs and university ethics requirements and a starting place for conducting research in Clayoquot Biosphere Region.
Please contact Lynette Barbosa at the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council for more information on conducting research with the Nuu-chah-nulth-aht.
One of the goals of the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust is to promote academic research that responds to community needs and concerns. With this intent in mind, the Clayoquot Alliance compiled a list of community research needs related to aquaculture, community health, marine resources, and tourism, each identified collaboratively through a number of interviews, meetings and community events.
The Long Beach Model Forest Library was acquired jointly by the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust and the Nuu-chah-nulth Central Region Chiefs in 2000. This resource is housed at the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust office in Ucluelet. Please browse this index and visit the CBT to view the resources.

The Clayoquot Archives, located at the CBT office in Ucluelet, is a collection of primary documents related to the politics of land-use in the Clayoquot region. The original collection was established in 1996-99. Documents were collected or copied from a wide variety of sources, including individuals, private organizations, and government agencies. The compilers of the Archive received assistance from many different individuals and organizations, many of whom have loaned or donated materials to the Archive, or have offered assistance in locating materials. We are grateful to those contributors and the people who organized the archive for compiling this resource.
The Clayoquot Documents are a selection of the most interesting documents in the Clayoquot Archive, organized into three volumes. The first and second volumes deal with the period from about 1988 to 1997, while a third volume of later documents has since been added. Readers of A Political Space: Reading the Global through Clayoquot Sound (Magnusson & Shaw, 2003) are encouraged to use the Documents in conjunction with the essays in the book. All the documents can be downloaded from the above links.
This bibliography, compiled by George Francis in 2005, is comprised of a number of publications that address resource management issues in Clayoquot Sound, especially the controversies that have gone on about clear-cutting forests. Others use CS as a case example directly or in passing for discussion of some larger themes of policy, politics, and practice. Most have been published within the past ten years. The list overlaps, but is not the same as the reference materials compiled by the CLARET project of the University of Victoria & Clayoquot Biosphere Trust, 2001-2004.
The Clayoquot Alliance for Research, Education and Training (CLARET) was a unique partnership founded with the goals of forging creative links between the University of Victoria and the communities of Clayoquot Sound, providing a forum in which community interests and needs become academic concerns, and making the education and training resources of the University more accessible in the region.

The West Coast Vancouver Island (WCVI) Information System is a cooperative project between the CBT, the Nuu-chah-nulth-aht/West Coast Vancouver Island Aquatic Management Board and Uu-a-thluk. The purpose of the WCVI Information System is to increase access to and sharing of information about the communities, ecosystems and their uses along the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The atlas, hosted by the BC Community Mapping Network, contains a range of information about the region. Explore the various map layers, check out reports on selected map features, zoom in & out to access map layers, and move around the region. The atlas will continue to grow with map layers and information, so visit often.
