正文(英文) | March 6, 2019 Gaspé, Quebec - The health and protection of our oceans is essential for our environment and our economy. The Government of Canada has made significant progress in protecting its three oceans and its coastlines by ensuring that they are safer, cleaner and healthier for future generations. The Minister of National Revenue and Member of Parliament for Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, on behalf of the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, today announced the establishment of the Banc-des-Américains Marine Protected Area, which will provide long-term protection for this part of our oceans. Located off the coast of the Gaspé Peninsula between Cap-Gaspé and Cap-d'Espoir, this Marine Protected Area covers 1,000 km2 where the Gaspé and Chaleur Bay currents meet. This biological crossroads is important for many species of fish and crustaceans, including endangered species such as whales and Spotted and Northern Wolffish. The highly anticipated establishment of this marine protected area will make the Banc-des-Américains the first project under the Canada-Quebec Collaborative Agreement for the establishment of a network of marine protected areas in Quebec and in the Estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The two governments will work together to protect this marine ecosystem. The newly protected area will have dual status: an aquatic reserve under Quebec law, and a marine protected area under the Oceans Act. Quotes
