CVN members and the general public are invited to attend the following free online lecture hosted by the Canadian Society of Environmental Biologists:
Title: Canada’s Approach to Achieving Marine Protected Area Targets
Speaker: Isabelle Jubinville (Oceana Canada)
Date: Tuesday, April 11, 2023
Time: 11:00 a.m. PT
See the registration link below.
The past year has seen Canada reaffirm commitments to protect 25% of our oceans by 2025 (and 30% by 2030) and showcase national marine conservation efforts on the world stage. With new perspectives and standards for marine protected areas and ‘what counts’ towards these targets, it raises the question—are we meeting our commitments? Recent developments in Canada’s push to meeting our 25% target will be discussed alongside how Canada’s national approach fits in with internationally championed best practices.
