Through the Oceans Protection Plan, the Government of Canada engaged extensively with Indigenous Peoples, coastal communities, and stakeholders across the country to improve our marine safety system.
As part of this work, 10 Marine Dialogue Forums were held on Canada’s west coast to share information and engage on a wide range of OPP initiatives. These forums have welcomed hundreds of participants from marine organizations, various levels of government, scientists, and Indigenous communities to discuss the key issues around marine shipping and oceans protection.
During the next phase of the Oceans Protection Plan, Marine Dialogue Forums will be launched in other regions across Canada. This will allow the Government of Canada to engage even more Canadians, Indigenous Peoples, and marine stakeholders so they can continue to shape Canada's marine safety system.
