The partners of the Vancouver Island Conservation Land Management Program are instrumental in providing funds and coordination to sustain and manage the WMA. Partners are The Nature Trust of British Columbia, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Habitat Conservation Trust Fund, and the Ministry of Environment.

The Nature Trust of B.C. works to protect B.C.’s natural diversity of wildlife and plants and their critical habitat, through the acquisition and management of ecologically significant land.

The Canadian Wildlife Service is Canada's national wildlife agency that focuses on the protection and management of migratory birds and nationally important wildlife habitat, endangered species, research on nationally important wildlife issues, control of international trade in endangered species, and international treaties.

Ducks Unlimited Canada conserves, restores and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl.

Several organizations are partners in delivering educational, conservation and public awareness programs for the WMA.

The Raincoast Education Society is a local non-profit organization that promotes awareness and stewardship of the Tofino Mudflats by offering special programs and information packages to residents and visitors. These programs include the annual Shorebird Festival, monthly birding events, field trips and activities with the schools, the Young Naturalists program, and slide shows and guest speakers at the Raincoast Interpretive Centre and other venues in Tofino.

The Habitat Conservation Trust Fund provides funding to support stewardship of the Tofino Mudflats WMA. The Habitat Conservation Trust Fund was created by an act of legislature to preserve, restore and enhance key areas of habitat for fish and wildlife throughout B.C. Anglers, hunters, trappers and guides contribute to Trust Fund projects through licence surcharges.

The Clayoquot Biosphere Trust provides funding for educational programs. It also administers research and monitoring initiatives in the Tofino Mudflats WMA, which lies within the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The Clayoquot Biosphere Trust promotes sustainable development, conservation and healthy communities in and around the Biosphere Reserve.

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada lies just to the south of the Tofino Mudflats WMA. Grice Bay, a designated sensitive area located within the park, is part of the Tofino Mudflat complex. Over the past few years, Parks Canada has been collecting baseline data on a variety of physical and biological features within Grice Bay. This data is being used to develop a model to measure and predict the cumulative effects of anthropogenic activities on Grice Bay. Some of these features will also be used as measures to monitor long-term coastal ecosystem health within the coastal BC bio-region. Parks Canada's goal is to encourage appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of national parks without causing harm to the ecosystem. Promoting awareness and stewardship of the mudflats is mutually beneficial and provides on-going opportunities for collaboration and support.

The Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation provides access to the northern shore of the Tofino Mudflats WMA through its network of trails and paths, including a permanent bird blind. The TBGF frequently collaborates with other local organizations to offer educational programs and information about the mudflats. It also offers two-day naturalist programs at the Clayoquot Field Station.

Tofino Streamkeepers is a non-profit group of local volunteers who work to conserve and restore streams and wetland habitat in our communities. The group works cooperatively with government agencies, fisheries biologists, and local businesses and residents. Tofino Streamkeepers is a member of the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation, an organization that supports the many streamkeeper groups across B.C. and the Yukon.
