Plans for a National Marine Conservation Area on the south coast have been postponed until the new year

CBC Newfoundland Morning

Work on a proposed protected area for the south coast will now have to wait until the new year. Some planned community meetings have been delayed until 2025. The sessions are part of a feasibility study into what's being called the South Coast Fjords National Marine Conservation Area project. Opposition from the aquaculture industry and some concerned residents has contributed to the delay. We heard from Lori Macadam, the director of National Marine Conservation Area Establishment for Parks Canada.
