To better understand and manage our coasts and waterways, Fisheries and Oceans Canada launched the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program in 2018 as part of the Government of Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan.
$50.8 million was invested over five years to capture important information about the current state of six key coastal areas. New open datasets now provide Canadians living and working in these coastal ecosystems a starting point for science-informed decision-making.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada is a Decade Partner.
