		Clayoquot had gone from bad to worse, draining ever more of the company's time and resources.
		Though it was environmental heresy to say it, she had come to believe that the human complexity of Clayoquot ruled out a purely green solution.

	Clayoquot Green Economic Opportunities Project - Community Profiles

		In identifying strategies for pursuing a sustainable economy in Clayoquot Sound the report is intended to help the Trust and the region as whole to achieve its commitment to becoming a global model of sustainable development.

	Clayoquot Wilderness Resort - NiteDine review
		Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is a place we liked quite a lot, and is in fact two separate resorts under the same eco tourism banner.
		Clayoquot is situated about a half hour boat ride from the idyllic surfing town of Tofino, which is served by Canada West Airlines' tiny six seater aircraft.
		He is also planning to open his own restaurant in Tofino, but is such a valuable asset to Clayoquot, that he will at the very least stay on as executive chef.

	Clayoquot_Habitat
		The Clayoquot region comprises a diverse range of ecosystems, including ocean, streams and rivers, lakes, fjords, reefs and islands, mountains, forests and sand beaches.
		As part of a declining mass of coastal temperate rain forest, Clayoquot Sound is one of the world's last remaining stands of rare coastal ecotype brought about by the close interaction of forest and ocean.
		In spite of its beauty, Clayoquot Sound's commercial value as a logging resource is a competing interest which threatens what is possibly the last accessible area in North America where long-term temperate rainforest research, and conservation of interdependent marine and terrestrial ecosystems, remain a viable prospect.

	Common Ground - August 2003 - Clayoquot Was Defining Protest of Our Time by Geoff Olson
		Clayoquot is where we figured out how to think and act both locally and globally.
		The unprecedented protest of Clayoquot Sound in 1993 is in my view, a good beginning, down what continues to be a long and arduous road to preserving this still unprotected world-class treasure.
		Clayoquot is a phy-sical place which embodies the conflict between differing human beliefs: whether Earth is a storehouse of raw resources to be utilized primarily for human material benefit, or a community of living beings and processes interweaving in a functional yet wondrous way.

		Read this paper to see how Clayoquot Sound was transforming from frontline in the tree wars to a new form of cooperative management.
		The protection of Clayoquot's pristine watersheds is particularly important given recent studies of British Columbia and Yukon streams by the American Fisheries Society that reveal a frightening loss of salmon biodiversity: 142 stocks of salmon (stream-specific salmon runs) have gone extinct in this century, and another 624 stocks are at high risk.
		Increasing the protection of Clayoquot's pristine areas has been made easier by the public statement by MacMillan Bloedel at the 1996 Biosphere Reserve meeting hosted by the CRB that, should stakeholders agree to further protection, MB will not require financial compensation for relinquishing logging rights.

		A general conclusion is that the Scientific Panel's recommendations for forest planning present a true ecosystem-based approach acknowledging the paramount importance of maintaining ecosystem structure, composition, and function; and the importance of planning over long time periods (though, they say 100 years and we prefer to look at 250-500).
		A reality of the "ecological conditions" of Clayoquot Sound is that a significant portion of the landscape has been degraded from past clearcutting and road construction.
