Ottawa, Ontario — The Government of Canada is committed to protecting and restoring Canada’s aquatic species at risk. The solutions are wide ranging and require collaboration between the provinces and territories, industry and all Canadians.
That is why we are making it easier for all partners to learn about our aquatic species at risk. Fisheries and Oceans Canada has updated and improved its online aquatic species at risk mapping tool. The improved interactive mapping tool allows Canadians to find out where aquatic species at risk and their critical habitat are located across Canada. The tool is now interactive, user-friendly and intuitive. Users can zoom in and out on the data and save their results. Providing good government in the 21st century means providing good government digital services. The Government of Canada is committed to being at the forefront of the digital age and to making its services more secure, faster and easier for all users.
The online map is a key tool for those that conduct projects near water, including projects that conserve and restore aquatic environments, to help protect aquatic species at risk.
