Oceans Protection Plan announcements

From: Transport Canada

Since 2016, Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan has made shipping safer, increased protections for our marine ecosystems from the impacts of shipping, and strengthened the role Indigenous Peoples have in how their traditional coasts and waterways are managed. 

Our Report to Canadians: Investing in our coasts through the Oceans Protection Plan provides a detailed list of the hundreds of projects that have strengthened marine safety and the protection of our coasts and waterways since 2016.

Here are the projects that we have announced to date:
