Near Water

Canada's fish and fish habitat are a shared resource that provides social, economic and ecological benefits - but they are also finite and vulnerable. They must therefore be conserved and protected to maintain these benefits for present and future generations.

Many partners and stakeholders, including federal departments, provincial and territorial governments, Indigenous peoples, recreational fishing groups, conservation organizations, and industry groups share a common interest in the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat. The conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat may best be achieved when these partners and stakeholders work together to conserve and protect fish and fish habitat.
