Indigenous communities share ties to Canada’s coasts that span generations. Through the Quiet Vessel Initiative, the Government of Canada is providing funding to coastal Indigenous communities in southern British Columbia to better understand and reduce underwater vessel noise and protect the marine environment.
The Government of Canda recognizes that underwater vessel noise can have a significant impact on marine mammals, including endangered species such as the Southern Resident killer whale.
