Who We Are

The Gwabalis Fisheries Group is a partnership of the Mamalilikulla, Da’naxda’xw, Quatsino and Tlatlasikwala First Nations who came together to form a successful and growing, 100% First Nation owned and operated Commercial Fishing Business. 

Based in Northern Vancouver Island, our current business focus is to lease commercial fishing licences and quota while supporting First Nation fishermen; creating employment and training opportunities for our members; and developing programs that support and build healthy and vibrant communities.​ Read more about us...
