De plus, le Canada crée actuellement des aires marines protégées ou des aires de conservation pour chacune des principales zones prioritaires que la communauté internationale scientifique et de gestion des océans a ciblées comme étant des priorités criantes, tels les espèces marines en péril, les coraux pélagiques en eau froide, les monts sous-marins en haute mer, et les bouches hydrothermales.

Our scientists and our scientific approach to marine protected area designation can serve as a model for other countries, as can our approach of situating marine protected areas within the context of integrated management planning. Given our current and emerging experience, Canada can also demonstrate to the world how marine protected areas can be useful tools in broader oceans management ranging from the coastal area to the full extent of national jurisdiction. As well, Canada is in the process of establishing marine protected areas or management conservation areas for all of the key priority areas that the world's scientific and oceans management community has identified as critical priorities, such as marine species-at-risk, deep cold water corals, open-ocean seamounts, and hydrothermal vents. This is valuable experience for the global community, and an important indication that marine protected areas are feasible management tools.
