Laurentian Channel Proposed Marine Protected Area

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has proposed the Laurentian Channel, located off the southwest coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, as a Marine Protected Area (MPA) under the Oceans Act. The designation is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to developing a national network of MPAs and to reaching its domestic and international targets by increasing the proportion of Canada’s protected marine and coastal areas to 5% by 2017 and 10% by 2020.
