Parks Canada has conserved federal lands and their enclosed freshwaters since the 1880s, and yet did not establish a national marine park until 1987. Meanwhile, Indigenous cultures have likely practised coastal conservation for millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo envision a sustainable and equitable conservation future, N.A. Sloan looks to the Pacific north coast – particularly, the Haida Gwaii archipelago – for examples of progressive marine planning and co-management with Indigenous peoples. Sloan also explores the worldwide struggle to balance area preservation (strongly limited uses) with area conservation (sustainable uses that may include resource extraction).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive account of aquatic area conservation illuminates what can be done by working together toward a bluer Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499192951157,"sku":"9780774872805","price":51.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/blue-canada","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
