CPAWSNL Special Marine Areas

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter is proud to deliver the Special Marine Areas Guide. We have collaborated with scientists from universities, federal and provincial governments, non-profit organizations and community groups to expand our knowledge of coastal and marine areas in this Province. We highlight 140 special marine areas that include coastal sites, coral beds, bird colonies, breeding areas, fish spawning grounds, and migratory routes. Our guide is organized according to bioregional planning units used in the National Framework for Canada’s Marine Protected Areas Network with six ecologically distinct Eco-units and additional information about the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
