There are bad ideas. And there are good ideas. Defending our coast is the BEST idea.
Stronger protection for our oceans means food on our plates, jobs in our communities, and life in our seas.
We’ve shown you some bad ideas for protecting our coast, but the truth is, there’s a proven solution. Canada and BC are working to build the Great Bear Sea Marine Protected Area (MPA) Network, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to preserve thousands of kilometers of critical habitat.
The goal? To protect 30% of our oceans by 2030. But progress is uneven, and many fragile areas are still threatened by industrial pressures.
The threats to BC’s coastal habitats are real, and time is running out to act.
Call your MP today and tell them to back stronger Marine Protected Areas that will keep our oceans, communities, and livelihoods thriving for generations.
Marine Protected Areas: The Solution Our Oceans Need
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are scientifically proven solutions to habitat destruction, pollution, and overfishing. These designated zones prohibit destructive industrial activities, creating safe havens where marine life can recover and thrive.
When marine ecosystems flourish,everyone benefits. Healthy oceans mean more fish, cleaner water, and stronger coastal economies. Tourism, sustainable fishing, and coastal communities all prosper when we protect our precious marine resources.
