正文(英文) | December 15, 2021 Ottawa, Ontario – With the devastating impacts of climate change on display around the world, the Government of Canada is more committed than ever to working with industry, governments, and communities across the country to protect and restore our oceans. Canada’s oceans are home to a rich diversity of species, habitats, and ecosystems that need our help in order to thrive. They feed our families, support important industries, and connect us all. Canada has made significant progress in marine conservation over the last six years, protecting nearly 14 per cent of our oceans by establishing marine protected areas and marine refuges in Canadian waters. We are protecting vital marine elements including coral concentrations, sponge reefs and other important marine habitats that contribute to healthy fish stocks and ecosystems. While we have come a long way, there is more work to be done. That is why, today, the Honourable Joyce Murray, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, launched a national Call for Proposals for funding ocean conservation and management projects in Canada through the Oceans Management Contribution Program. This is the first national Call for Proposals under this program, which, starting today, provides open access to at least $5 million in funding for eligible marine conservation projects across the country. In addition to this funding, $20 million is being distributed for specific agreements to support ocean conservation and planning in regions across Canada. These opportunities are made possible through Budget 2021’s historic $976.8 million investment in marine conservation efforts to protect 25 per cent of Canada’s oceans by 2025, working towards 30 per cent by 2030. Achieving ambitious conservation goals for our marine environments takes time, effort, and collaboration. By working together with provincial, territorial, and Indigenous governments, with the support of conservation partners and organizations motivated by the same goals, we can conserve and restore our oceans for generations to come.
