Bedwell Harbour fishing maps and surveyed sections

Bedwell Harbour Head is ready with contributor-qualified CHS survey contours, measured fishing spots, carefully labeled DFO fish and forage evidence, connected public-wharf access and whole-page Rockfish Conservation Area method guidance. Evidence is not generalized across the held parent harbour.

Split by exact federal boundary

Why the northern harbour is its own section

DFO sanitary area 18.7 defines a compact 107-acre northern child. That exact water clears the independent shoreline, bathymetry and page-scale gates, while the official Bedwell Harbour landing point lies in the broader parent water and is disclosed rather than silently treated as exact-child evidence.

No quality waivers

The broader harbour is not silently promoted

Only the exact DFO 18.7 northern child is live. Additional Bedwell Harbour water remains outside this page until an authoritative boundary, shoreline comparison, contributor-qualified bathymetry and Tampa-equivalent content pass the same fixed gates.

Bedwell Harbour map questions

Frequently asked questions

Why is Bedwell Harbour Head a separate fishing-map page?

DFO sanitary area 18.7 supplies an exact federal boundary for the northern portion of Bedwell Harbour. Keeping that child separate lets its shoreline, survey coverage, uncertainty, depth, fishing spots and content pass independently instead of implying that the evidence extends across the broader harbour.

What supports the Bedwell Harbour Head depth map?

Contributor-qualified Canadian Hydrographic Service NONNA 10 cells cover 98.8% of retained water targets as directly measured and assessed, with 1.2% unsupported cells, 1.311 metre P95 vertical uncertainty and a 74.1-foot recorded maximum. Depths are below CHS Chart Datum, not live tide or navigation depths.

Are Chinook and Coho exact-harbour survey records?

No. Nearby DFO Southern Gulf Islands trawls recorded adult Chinook, adult Coho and herring 3.9-8.2 kilometres away, so the page labels both salmon profiles regional. Seven 1959-1980 herring-spawn records are tied to the Bedwell Harbour parent-water locality about 1.6 kilometres outside the child.

Can I troll or jig for salmon here?

No. The entire child is inside the Bedwell Harbour Rockfish Conservation Area, where DFO prohibits salmon trolling, jigging and mooching. Recreational groundfish angling, any spearfishing, octopus angling and squid jigging are also prohibited. Check live Area 18 rules and licence conditions before considering any permitted method.

What access and shoreline restrictions apply?

Canadian Sailing Directions identifies a public wharf in the connected harbour about 130 metres beyond this exact child. It is a water-arrival point, not a claimed trailer ramp or parking facility. Parks Canada also prohibits landing or travel on designated Beaumont special-preservation shore and islets.
