Our Approach to Marine Conservation

At the David Suzuki Foundation we’re committed to making Canada globally renowned for conserving, protecting, and restoring the health and diversity of our marine and freshwater ecosystems. We are working to ensure that our oceans are well managed and that marine life survives in its full diversity and abundance. We are doing this through various approaches that support our organizational objective of realizing Sustainability Within a Generation.

These include:

• Promoting an ecosystem-based management approach to marine management.
• Profiling industrial impacts and advocating for reforms to marine-related policies, regulations, and laws.
• Establishing marine-use planning initiatives.
• Promoting the designation of marine protected areas.
• Supporting marine-related science and research.
• Promoting conservation and recovery plans for threatened and endangered species.
