The Qualicum National Wildlife Area (NWA) was officially established in 1977,[2] under the Canada Wildlife Act (1973).[3] The primary objective of the Qualicum NWA was to conserve crucial habitats for migratory birds and various other species.[3]

The national wildlife area consists of three small units - Rosewall Creek, Marshall-Stevenson, and Nanoose Bay - spread out along the northeastern coast Vancouver Island between the communities of Fanny Bay and Nanoose Bay.

Since it is a National Wildlife Area (NWA), Qualicum NWA is governed by the Canada Wildlife Act[2] and managed by the Canadian government department Environment and Climate Change Canada.[2] While most National Wildlife Areas are closed to the public to reduce the human impacts on the land, vegetation, animals, and insects, the Qualicum NWA is open for certain recreational activities, such as wildlife viewing and hiking[2] as well as hunting in certain areas.[4]
