This booklet summarizes how the Species at Risk Act (SARA) works to protect Canada’s aquatic species that are considered at risk, including fish, reptiles, mammals, and molluscs. It identifies the three federal agencies that enforce the Act, as well as the group of scientists who identify species at risk, and explains how species are listed and protected. The booklet includes misconceptions about SARA, and examples of projects to help protect species at risk.
