Ocean Planning

Mapping marine biodiversity and human activity in Canada's Pacific waters

Karin Bodker, Marine Analyst with Living Oceans, co-chairs the B.C. Marine Conservation Analysis (BCMCA), a collaborative project to identify areas of high conservation value and human use on B.C.’s coast. The overall purpose of the BCMCA is to collaboratively identify marine areas of high conservation value and areas important to human use in Canada's Pacific Ocean.

Ocean Planning

Ocean planning is an opportunity for stakeholders to put aside their conflicts and work together to find solutions to create sustainable economies, vibrant communities and healthy oceans. We need a vision to protect the natural abundance of Canada’s oceans and the coastal communities that rely on them so we can manage our use of the ocean without using it up.
