About SeaBlue Canada
SeaBlue Canada is a joint project of eight of Canada’s most active and well- respected NGOs. We work together to hold the Government of Canada to account on ambitious, equitable and impactful marine protection.
SeaBlue Canada was instrumental in successfully raising Government ambition to exceed the 10 per cent target set for 2020, resulting in close to 14 per cent protection of Canada’s marine environment.

The climate and biodiversity crises are entwined, but we risk pitting one against the other
In our race to cool the planet, we must not compromise the ecosystems on which we depend.

#MPA networks are like safe highways for ocean life, helping species move and adapt as waters warm and habitats change. By connecting protected areas, we support stronger, more resilient ecosystems that can handle the stress of climate change and human impact.
It's becoming clear that ocean issues connect major UN conferences & multilateral frameworks.
As highlighted at @COP16Oficial & @COP29_AZ, the ocean's role is central in combating the triple planetary crisis (#ClimateChange, pollution, #BiodiversityLoss)
MPAs are vital in the fight against climate change. By safeguarding ocean habitats, MPAs promote natural carbon sequestration, capturing CO₂ through marine life. When we protect the ocean from stressors, it strengthens the ocean's ability to store carbon.
#MPAs #25x25 #30x30
🌊 @COP29_AZ must put the ocean at the centre of climate solutions.
The ocean is integral to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement therefore it is crucial to integrate and strengthen #OceanClimateAction measures for both mitigation and adaptation. #ClimateCrisis
