The Youth-led Bay of Fundy Futures initiative brings youth voices from diverse backgrounds to the forefront of planning for the Bay of Fundy’s proposed Marine Protected Area (MPA) network. During a 2-day workshop, youth participants will map causal pathways toward those futures, highlighting the social and ecological drivers of change required to get to their desired futures. By leveraging youth voices, this program will build capacity for the next generation of marine stewards in Atlantic Canada.
