Port Clements is ready with an exact DFO child boundary, official CHS high-water shoreline QA, contributor-qualified CHS survey contours, four measured fishing spots, carefully bounded Pink, Chum and herring evidence, a free public launch and current Area 1 guidance. Evidence is not generalized across the broader inlet.

Why Masset Inlet is divided into sections
DFO sanitary area 1.4 expressly defines Port Clements inside Masset Inlet. Treating that 695-acre child independently keeps shoreline, bathymetry, species, forage, access and legal claims tied to the water actually reviewed while the much larger remainder awaits its own exact sections.
695-acre Port Clements — Masset Inlet fishing map with CHS NONNA survey contours (100% measured and assessed), four measured spots, exact/named-water DFO Pink, Chum and herring evidence, a free public launch, and current Area 1, CSSP, Chinook and broader-refuge guidance.
Boundary: current DFO CSSP 1.4 Port Clements polygon with three exact legal anchors and natural shoreline preserved.
Shoreline and depth: official CHS high-water comparison plus contributor-qualified NONNA cells retained in Chart Datum; every exact-boundary depth cell is directly measured.
Fishing spots: four source-traceable harbour, tide-station, Martin Point and deepest-basin anchors snapped to directly measured CHS cells.
Fish and forage: exact Port Clements Pink observations, named-parent Chum evidence and one historical Masset Inlet herring-spawn event, with diminished/low-abundance limitations visible.
Access and rules: Village-confirmed free public launch, exact CSSP scope, Chinook non-retention, and linked broader-refuge guidance.
Only Port Clements is promoted. Additional Masset Inlet water stays out of search and the sitemap until exact named children independently pass the same fixed gates.
Broader Masset Inlet: The remainder has not yet been divided into exact named children with independent shoreline, contributor-qualified bathymetry, fish, forage, access, legal and SEO review. Port Clements evidence is not extrapolated across it.
Masset Inlet map questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is Port Clements a separate Masset Inlet fishing-map page?
Masset Inlet is a large, complex system. DFO sanitary area 1.4 supplies an exact Port Clements child, allowing its shoreline, depth coverage, fish evidence, access and rules to pass independently without extending those claims across the full inlet.
What supports the Port Clements depth map?
Contributor-qualified CHS NONNA 10 cells cover all 1,124 exact-boundary targets as directly measured and assessed, with no unsupported cells and 0.598 metre P95 vertical uncertainty. Depths are below CHS Chart Datum, not live tide or navigation depths.
Why did the shoreline recovery use CHS high-water lines?
DFO defines the child as waters and intertidal foreshore. CanCoast and low-tide-image ShoreZone lines narrowly missed the fixed threshold along one wide intertidal flat. The official CHS high-water line is the matching vertical shoreline reference and passes the unchanged gate with all legal anchors exact; no waiver was used.
Which fish evidence is exact to Port Clements?
DFO's August 2020 notice expressly reports Pink salmon marine observations near Port Clements, while preserving diminished-abundance and no-surplus caveats. Chum and the 1976 herring-spawn event are named-parent Masset Inlet evidence, not exact-child catch predictions.
Does the page include the Masset Inlet marine refuge?
The current G̱aw Ḵáahlii refuge components lie elsewhere in broader Masset Inlet and do not intersect the exact Port Clements child, so they are linked as broader-system context but are not painted onto this page. Live DFO rules and boundaries always control.
