About SeaBlue Canada
SeaBlue Canada is a joint project of seven 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.
