Seamounts are incredible underwater mountains and some of the world's tallest rise from the seafloor off the coast of British Columbia. Oceana Canada visited these seamounts two years ago and now new research is highlighting how these incredible underwater ecosystems are at increasing risk due to climate change. On the blog we dive into this research and highlight how we can protect the Northeast Pacific Seamounts.

Devastating news today the first North Atlantic right whale calf of the season has been found dead. It appears that the calf died either during or shortly after birth. More on the story here: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov//first-known-north-atlantic #RightWhaletoSave

Listen as our science director discusses findings from our #FisheryAudit with The Broadcast CBC. The decline of important forage fish, like capelin, is particularly troubling as these small fish are the main food source for other marine creatures.

Blue sharks, as you may have guessed by their name, are blue. They have a distinct, sapphire blue colouration on the top half of their body that is truly spectacular and is perfectly suited for life in the open ocean. https://oceana.ca/en/marine-life/sharks-rays/blue-shark

Given a chance, depleted fish populations can make a comeback and with good science we can sustainably manage them. Meet the redfish, a good news story in Canada thanks to an unexpected population boom. Find out more at http://FisheryAudit.ca.

Dr. Robert Rangeley, Oceana Canada Director of Science said the #FisheryAudit shows how rebuilding fisheries abundance will help the country’s economy recover from the pandemic. There’s a pathway to success here, Fisheries and Oceans Canada knows this.
