Summary of the fifth International Marine Protected Areas Congress and Leadership Forum : 3-9 February 2023, Vancouver, Canada.: Fs23-710/2023E-PDF

"In its efforts to manage Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and the effects of human activity on the ocean, Canada has created comprehensive standards for protected areas. These include: the creation of explicit protection standards which prohibit oil and gas exploration, seabed mining, bottom trawling, and dumping in all new marine protected areas and intentions to upgrade the protection standards for existing sites over the coming years. Canada also recognizes the importance of creating frameworks for co-management, especially with respect to Indigenous peoples and communities"--Page 11.
