    National Report for Canada for the 7th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Convention on Wetlands San José, Costa Rica, 10-18 May 1999 September 1998 Compiled by C.D.A. Rubec Canadian Wildlife Service Environment Canada Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3 National Report for Canada for the 7th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Convention on Wetlands San José, Costa Rica, 10-18 May 1999 Preface From the first meeting of the Ramsar Conference of the Contracting Parties in 1980, countries have submitted National Reports on their implementation of the Convention. These reports are submitted eight months in advance of the meeting to allow synthesis of the national information into Ramsar Regional Overview Reports by the staff of the Ramsar Bureau. National Reports constitute a vital source of information on the implementation of the Convention at the country, regional, and global levels. The present format for National Reports was considered by the Ramsar Standing Committee at its meeting in October 1997. It approved the new format “in principle” and sought some improvements. These were introduced by the Bureau of the Convention and the revised form approved by the Chair of the Standing Committee in December 1997. The new format is based on the Ramsar Strategic Plan 1997-2002 adopted by COP6. This report format contains key questions related to each of the eight General Objectives of the Ramsar Strategic Plan 1996-2002. This report is a brief status report by Canada on its implementation of the Convention on Wetlands and its Strategic Plan.

National Reports should be sent to: Alexia Dufour, Regional Affairs Officer, Ramsar Secretariat ([email protected]) National Report Format for Ramsar COP11, page 2 Introduction & background 1. This National Report Format (NRF) has been approved by the Standing Committee in Decision SC41-24 for the Ramsar Convention’s Contracting Parties to complete as their national reporting to the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties of the Convention (Bucharest, Romania, June 2012). 2. Following Standing Committee discussions at its 40th meeting in May 2009, and its Decision SC40-29, this COP11 National Report Format closely follows that used for the COP10 National Report Format, which in turn was a significantly revised and simplified format in comparison with the National Report Formats provided to previous recent COPs. 3. In addition to thus permitting continuity of reporting and implementation progress analyses by ensuring that indicator questions are as far as possible consistent with previous NRFs (and especially the COP10 NRF), this COP11 NRF is structured in terms of the Goals and Strategies of the 2009-2015 Ramsar Strategic Plan adopted at COP10 as Resolution X.1, and the indicators
