The Government of Canada is proposing St. Anns Bank in Nova Scotia as Canada\u2019s next Marine Protected Area\u00a0under Canada\u2019s Oceans Act<\/em>.<\/h2>\n

Canada is striving to protect 10% of marine and coastal areas by 2020 and proposing St. Anns Bank as the next Marine Protected Area<\/a> (MPA) is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Located east of Cape Breton, St. Anns Bank is an area rich in biodiversity. Its many unique habitats are home to at-risk species such as the Atlantic Wolffish<\/a>. It also serves as a summer foraging area for the endangered Leatherback Seaturtle<\/a>.<\/p>\n
