MARINE ANIMALS

Of the many species of cetaceans, pinnipeds, turtles and sharks that are found in Canadian waters, there are several commonly sighted or encountered that may end up stranding on Maritime shores. Canadian species’ conservation status is first assessed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), followed by a process to determine if the species will be listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA).
