Science-based guidelines for marine protected areas and MPA networks in Canada

10 May 2011

The conservation of Canada's ocean ecosystems is an issue of critical importance. A key tool in this effort is marine protected areas (MPAs). Canada is currently developing a bioregional network approach to MPA establishment. There is great hope that, done well, this new approach will help Canada expand effectively and efficiently its protection of marine ecosystems, which currently amounts to less than 1% of our national ocean territory.
