In 1997, Canada became the first country in the world to adopt comprehensive legislation for integrated ocean management. By passing its Oceans Act, Canada made a commitment to conserve, protect, and develop the oceans in a sustainable manner. The Oceans Act and its supporting policy, Canada’s Oceans Strategy, affirmed Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO’s) mandate as the lead federal authority for oceans and provided a national context for the initiative. Carrying out the Department’s responsibilities under the Oceans Act requires a great deal of knowledge on the current state of the environment and its users. http://coinatlantic.ca/index.php/state-of-the-scotian-shelf 5
