Canada is home to some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems and incredible landscapes. This natural beauty helps shape our identity and influences who we are as a country which is why conserving biodiversity and protecting it from threats like aquatic invasive species is so important.

In 2023, Fisheries and Oceans Canada launched the $8.75 million Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Fund (AISPF) to help facilitate on-the-ground preventative action against aquatic invasive species.
