"This Status Report on Canadian Marine Environmental Quality is a project of the MEQ Advisory Group of Conservation and Protection, Environment Canada. It is the last of three projects assigned to the Group by the Assistant Deputy-Minister, Conservation and Protection, in 1985. The other projects were the first Canadian Conference on Marine Environmental Quality held in Halifax in 1988 (Proceedings published in 1988) and the Five-Year Conservation and Protection MEQ Action Plan approved in 1989. All three projects are intended to bring a new focus and direction to Environment Canada's marine environmental quality programs, and to achieve a higher government and public profile for marine environmental quality issues in Canada. This report was considered an essential step in comprehensively understanding the topic and in identifying priorities for action"--Preface.
