Canada has an abundance of ecologically diverse and economically significant freshwater, marine and coastal areas. The core business of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard is to protect Canada’s three oceans, its coasts, waterways and fisheries, and to ensure these remain healthy for future generations. Our work is part of the daily lives of Canadians. Fisheries and Oceans Canada ensures commercial vessels and recreational boaters can safely navigate our waters and is there to save lives and protect our environment when emergencies arise.
