They represent 6 of the 29 marine regions identified in the <abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr> system plan, and protect approximately 123,490 square kilometers of Canada’s marine and freshwater ecosystems in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans and the Great Lakes. In 2021 Parks Canada committed to establishing 10 new marine and four new freshwater <abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr>s by 2030, working with Indigenous communities on co-management agreements for these <abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr>s.</p> <p><abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr>s are part of a growing worldwide network of marine protected areas. The Government of Canada is committed to contributing to global conservation targets by protecting biodiversity and conserving 30% of marine and coastal areas by 2030. Parks Canada has contributed 2.12% to Canada’s current total of over 14% marine protection.</p> <p><abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr>s include submerged lands, the water above them, and any species found there. They can also take in wetlands, estuaries, islands and other coastal lands.</p> <p><abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr>s are established and managed to protect and conserve representative marine areas for the benefit, education and enjoyment of the people of Canada and the world. </p> <p><abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr>s create enjoyable experiences for visitors, promote awareness and understanding among Canadians, and provide benefits for Indigenous peoples and coastal communities.</p> <section class="row feature-set wb-eqht mrgn-tp-lg mrgn-bttm-lg"> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6" style="vertical-align: top; min-height: 210px;"> <a href="https://parks.canada.ca/amnc-nmca/plan"> <img alt="" src="https://pcweb2.azureedge.net/-/media/WET4/amnc-nmca/national-page/amnc-nmca-plan-640-2.jpg" class="img-responsive feature-img"></a> <h4 style="margin-top: 11.5px;"><a href="https://parks.canada.ca/amnc-nmca/plan">National Marine Conservation Areas System Plan</a></h4> <p>Protecting and conserving representative marine ecosystems and key features.</p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6" style="vertical-align: top; min-height: 210px;"> <a href="https://parks.canada.ca/amnc-nmca/cnamnc-cnnmca"> <img alt="" src="https://pcweb2.azureedge.net/-/media/WET4/amnc-nmca/national-page/amnc-nmca-nouvelles-new-640-2.jpg" class="img-responsive feature-img"></a> <h4 style="margin-top: 11.5px;"><a href="https://parks.canada.ca/amnc-nmca/cnamnc-cnnmca">Creating new national marine conservation areas</a></h4> <p>Proposals for new <abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr>s.</p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6" style="vertical-align: top; min-height: 210px;"> <a href="https://parks.canada.ca/amnc-nmca/gestion-management"> <img alt="" src="https://pcweb2.azureedge.net/-/media/WET4/amnc-nmca/national-page/amnc-nmca-politique-policy-640.jpg" class="img-responsive feature-img"></a> <h4 style="margin-top: 11.5px;"><a href="https://parks.canada.ca/amnc-nmca/gestion-management">Managing national marine conservation areas</a></h4> <p>New <abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr> policy, management directive and development of regulations.</p> </div> </section> <div class="mrgn-tp-xl mrgn-bttm-xl"> <div class="well"> <h4 class="mrgn-tp-0">What is a national marine conservation area reserve?</h4> <p>A national marine conservation area reserve is an <abbr title="National Marine Conservation Areas">NMCA</abbr> that is within an area subject to one or more Indigenous land claim(s) accepted for negotiation by the Government of Canada.
