Without marine shipping Canada would be a different place economically. Marine shipping opens up Canada’s markets to the world.

Essentially, any product or item in your life or house that came from outside of North America was probably transported by a ship.

There are three regions in Canada that are considered critical habitat for whales that overlap major shipping hubs in Canada. This includes the Pacific Coast and the Salish Sea as well as the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay of Fundy.

There are many primary sources of underwater noise that affect marine mammals including commercial vessels, cracking ice, surface waves, earthquakes, marine life, storms, rain, pile driving, sonar, recreational vessels, seismic survey, snowmobiles, sonar and hydrothermal vents.
