coastal communities are key to the success of this program. These communities have valuable insights and expertise about their local ecosystems, and we will be seeking their assistance in determining what data will be collected in each area. The data collected from this program will be used when making decisions that could impact sensitive marine habitat and species. This announcement was made during


the World Environmental Education Con- gress where Canada offi cially joined the CleanSeas campaign – a UN initiative to eliminate major sources of marine litter – further solidifying its commitment to keep- ing our oceans cleaned.

our most important marine ecosystems and address threats to marine species. The Fund is a part of the national $1.5-billion Oceans Protection Plan, an historic investment that aims to make Canada a leader in marine safety and our oceans for generations to come.


The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc,


Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Cana- dian Coast Guard announced today that the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador will receive $4.7 million over fi ve years for a project to help restore the ecosystem in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. The Marine Institute is the fi rst group


in Newfoundland and Labrador to receive project funding through the Fund. The proj- ect will enhance the Placentia Bay ecosys- tem, benefi tting fi sh and shellfi sh resources in coastal waters by restoring eelgrass beds, and enhancing habitat through deployment of artifi cial reefs. It will also restore mi- gratory corridors for Atlantic salmon and increase ecosystem productivity for Species at Risk such as Blue whales and Leatherback turtles.


The Coastal Restoration Fund will


support projects that contribute to coastal restoration on all of Canada’s coasts. Pref- erence is given to projects that are multiyear and involve a broad number of partners that include Indigenous groups.


the rich history of sea service as it relates to maintaining maritime superiority in today’s environment. “When going through the essays I was


looking for outstanding scholarship, use of primary sources and meeting the CNO’s requirement for an essay that took lessons from history and applied it to current and future operations,” said retired Rear Adm. Samuel J. Cox, director, NHHC. The winners received cash prizes,


plaques, pens and copper from the USS Con- stitution. The fi rst place winners from both categories will have their essays published in Naval History Magazine and all winners will be published on NHHC’s website. “It’s been an absolutely incredible ex-


perience,” said Stefanus. “Meeting the CNO and USNA superintendent was an awesome experience, as well as all the other essay con- test winners. I’m honored to be here. {It’s] defi nitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.”


Additionally, the winners presented


their papers at the symposium during the panel discussions. “It felt really wonderful. Getting up and


presenting and giving a speech is one thing, but being recognized is something diff erent and I’ve got goosebumps,” said Hone. “It’s really neat to walk up shake the CNO’s hand and be here at the Naval Academy, and get that kind of recognition for something that I’ve written.” The McMullen Symposium ran Sept.


14-15. It is the largest academic conference dedicated to the subject of naval and mar- itime history in the western hemisphere. More than 300 scholars from 15 nations were in attendance where they presented research and discussed the fi eld.
