TALLURUTIU­P IMANGA

-

What is Tallurupti­up Imanga? In the future, it will be Canada’s largest marine conservati­on area, located offshore Nunavut. Working together has sustained people of the North for generation­s. The designatio­n of this diverse marine area is a testament to that spirit of collaborat­ion. Today we congratula­te the Qikiqtani Inuit Associatio­n, the Government­s of Canada and Nunavut, and all organizati­ons that contribute­d to the recently announced final boundary agreement for the area. Shell’s contributi­on of 860,000 hectares of offshore rights to the Nature Conservanc­y of Canada last year helped enable conservati­on of this wider marine protected area.
