Marine Protected Area News

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) is working to establish a network of marine protected areas in the Bay of Fundy to protect its important natural features, and to help ensure a future for the North Atlantic right whale. This includes establishing a National Marine Conservation Area near Digby Neck and Islands to protect an important marine zone where a wide diversity of whales congregate each year. Parks Canada has carried out a scientific study of the Bay of Fundy to identify sites of ecological importance. With this study now complete, it’s time to move ahead with establishing a National Marine Conservation Area in the Bay of Fundy to protect the whales and ecosystems.
