Union Passage Marine Provincial Park is a provincial park within the asserted traditional territory of the Tsimshian First Nations.[1] The marine protected area is located at the southwest end of Grenville Channel straddling Pitt and Farrant Islands, in British Columbia, Canada.[2]
The park conserves 395 hectares (980 acres) of North Coast Fjords Marine Ecosection, and protects sensitive aquatic habitats of importance for harbour porpoises, orca, humpback whales, Pacific white-sided dolphins, Dall's porpoises, and Harbour seals[1]
