Publications
​

Since 1992, volunteers for CMEPS have gathered information on the plight of Canadian Arctic marine mammals from sources such as the Canadian government, independent scientists and international committees that work to protect and/or consume whales, seals and polar bears. CMEPS uses this information to publish attractive reports that are very educational and easy for the general public to study

Ocean Conservation

We cannot expect to have a healthy ocean that can support us if we do not provide the conditions for that environment to flourish. Damaged ecosystems need time to recover, just like patients need time to get better. Preserving these crucial areas gives much-needed respite to the plants and animals that support our larger but fragile ecosystem.
