Hudson Bay

The situation in western Hudson Bay is a prime example of why Canada needs to triple ocean habitat protection. Manitoba has lost a third of its polar bear population in the past two decades and beluga whales in western Hudson Bay have been on Canada’s species-at-risk list since 2004.

With the largest concentration of beluga whales and polar bears on the planet, western Hudson Bay presents a spectacular opportunity to protect these animals and a vast richness of wildlife while building our economy and maintaining a treasured way of life.
