OTTAWA, ON, March 3, 2021 /CNW/ - Canada and our partners around the world are facing unprecedented challenges from an economic crisis, climate change and a recovery from COVID-19. Canada and our international counterparts recognize the potential that healthy oceans will have as a powerful solution to these problems. That is why the United Nations declared a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade) 2021–2030.
Today, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Honourable Bernadette Jordan, officially launched the Ocean Decade in Canada at a virtual event. Speaking to members of the ocean community, Minister Jordan reaffirmed the Government of Canada s commitment to ocean health and science to support a sustainable and prosperous blue economy.
