Prime Minister Carney announces historic investment to protect Canada’s oceans

The Government of Canada is investing in ocean protection to support responsible economic growth, protect marine ecosystems, strengthen marine safety and emergency preparedness, and advance reconciliation with First Nations. Canada’s investments in West Coast energy, trade, and marine infrastructure will help create more resilient coastal communities and manage growing pressures on marine ecosystems, while supporting local economies. A stronger West Coast economy requires a strong ocean protection system, including investments in marine safety, Indigenous stewardship, whale and salmon recovery, spill preparedness, fisheries management, and ocean science.
