OTTAWA, Feb. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traditional, Unceded Territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg People - February 7, 2023 – Oceana Canada is celebrating the commitment by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to publish draft regulations to protect a 133,019-km2 area off the West Coast of Vancouver Island, home of hydrothermal vents and 93 per cent of Canada’s known underwater mountains, called seamounts. The proposed regulations come after years of hard work by Indigenous Peoples, stakeholders, government agencies and conservation groups to protect the area, four times the size of Vancouver Island, as it is set to become the newest and second largest Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Canada.

Key Points: 
  • In July 2018, Oceana Canada partnered with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Haida Nation, and Ocean Networks Canada to explore the seamounts and identify marine species.
  • “The stunning diversity and abundance of life on the seamounts leave no room for hesitation about protecting them,” said Dr. Robert Rangeley, Science Director, Oceana Canada.
  • Oceana Canada has successfully campaigned to end the shark fin trade, make rebuilding depleted fish populations the law, improve the way fisheries are managed and protect marine habitat.
  • By restoring Canada’s oceans, we can strengthen our communities, reap greater economic and nutritional benefits and protect our future.

NASSAU, Bahamas, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- During the 2022 Titanic Expedition an extremely productive and dense ecosystem was discovered 2900 meters deep near the wreck of the Titanic. The provisionally dubbed Nargeolet-Fanning Ridge was originally recorded as a blip on sonar 26 years ago by PH Nargeolet, a veteran Nautile submersible pilot and Titanic diver. After more than two decades of wondering if the blip was a shipwreck or geologic feature, PH got his chance to dive on the target and explore the ridge that now provisionally carries his name. The mystery was finally solved with the financial support of OceanGate Expeditions Mission Specialist Oisín Fanning and the analysis provided by OceanGate Foundation's scientific team. Video footage released by OceanGate Expeditions shows the awe-inspiring environment that was discovered.
