Choosing sites for conservation must be done based on Indigenous Knowledge, leading scientific research and local community input. Fortunately, a wealth of knowledge already exists for the Bay of Fundy and a number of scientific studies are underway. A study completed by Parks Canada identifies marine conservation opportunities within the Bay of Fundy. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is working on a DRAFT Conservation Network Design in the area and the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) is leading an effort to identify critical wildlife habitats that should be conserved in the Inner Bay of Fundy.
