Help Shape Canada's Oceans Protection Plan
Official title: Oceans Protection Plan
Canada is investing $1.5 billion to protect its coasts and waterways. The government wants your input on how to do it better. Topics include Indigenous partnerships, marine safety, and environmental protection.
Why This Matters
Live near the coast? Work in fishing, shipping, or tourism? This plan affects how Canada protects its waters for the next decade. Indigenous communities have a direct stake in how these partnerships are built.
What Could Change
New marine safety rules could affect shipping routes and response times for spills. Indigenous communities may get stronger roles in coastal management decisions. Environmental protections could expand to new areas.
Key Issues
- How should Indigenous partnerships in coastal protection be strengthened?
- How can coastal communities be better engaged in ocean protection?
- What improvements are needed to modernize marine safety systems?
- How can science-based decision-making be better supported?
