    Marine Protected Areas of Canada

    Canada’s marine protected areas (MPAs) aim to conserve marine ecosystems and their inhabitants in all three oceans surrounding Canada. Administered by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, there are 16 Oceans Act marine protected areas in Canadian waters, covering 600,000 km2 or 10 per cent of maritime and coastal regions. The Government of Canada is currently committed to participating in protecting 30 per cent of the world’s oceans by 2030, after signing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and joining the Global Ocean Alliance and the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People. Marine protected areas have various conservation goals, which are specific to each protected area. Not only do these protected areas strive to conserve the natural environment, but their management also aims to support the economic goals of the region and contribute to preserving and highlighting Canadian culture.
