Nature & Culture:

• History - Coste Rocks Park was designated as a Class A provincial park in May 2004 following recommendations from the Kalum Land and Resource Management Plan.
• Conservation - Coste Rocks consists of two small, rocky islands and a nearby reef off the south end of Coste Island. The Coste Rock islands are the top of an underwater pillar that has vertical faces to a depth of 45-meters. The vertical walls of the pillar result in vertical zonation of submarine life and are known locally as an excellent underwater garden wall.
• Wildlife -The rocks are also a popular haul out spot for harbour seals which can often be seen there.
