| Fisheries and Oceans Canada has released their Pacific Region Cold-Water Coral and Sponge Conservation Strategy.
The goal of the strategy is to “conserve the health and integrity of Canada’s Pacific Ocean cold-water coral and sponge species, communities and their habitats as valued components of a healthy and productive ecosystem providing for economic and ecological value and sustainable use.” The strategy identifies existing and future activities and management measures for cold-water coral and sponge conservation by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. It helps regional partners and stakeholders understand how our existing programs and activities are aligned with cold-water coral and sponge conservation by presenting objectives, strategies and actions in a transparent manner.
