ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author looks at changes in Canadian policy in order to show how Canada is implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity and to what extent it is contributing to the effectiveness of environmental and resource protection systems. Marine ecosystems represent an interesting field of study in many respects, although Canadian literature has so far shown more interest in terrestrial biodiversity. Traditional legal instruments such as laws and regulations were used abundantly in this first generation of environmental policy. Intervening in too fragmentary a fashion Public interventions are carried out separately, and a special solution is found for each problem. New normative framework for marine biodiversity Noting the lack of attention paid to marine resources and habitat up to then, federal authorities decided to set up systems designed to promote the conservation and sustainable use of marine diversity in a special way.
