Strengthening, Expanding Protected Areas in Canada

SeaBlue Canada is a joint project of Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, the David Suzuki Foundation, Ecology Action Centre, Nature Canada, Oceans North, West Coast Environmental Law, and WWF Canada. We work collaboratively to ensure Canada is on track to meet their commitment to protect 25 percent of Canada’s ocean by 2025 and build strong foundations for 30 percent by 2030. SeaBlue Canada partners work on all three of Canada’s coasts, building public support for marine protection, advancing the understanding of the ocean’s role in mitigating climate change, ensuring that protection is robust and long-term while being rooted in science and traditional knowledge, supporting – where appropriate and requested – Indigenous partners in site protection and policy development, and engaging with Indigenous, local, provincial and federal government  and coastal communities to ensure protection is equitable, future-proof and meaningful.
