<P align=left>There are no national marine conservation areas (NMCA) established
in Atlantic Canada yet but there are two areas where CPAWS Nova Scotia, Sierra
Club and other groups are working towards establishing NMCAs. Digby Neck and
Islands and the Twin Bays area (St. Margaret's and Mahone Bay) show potential as
sites for NMCAs. If you would like to know more about the possible designation
of these areas as NMCAs please contact Laura Hussey, CPAWS Nova Scotia Marine
Coordinator at <A href="mailto:lhussey@cpawsns.org">lhussey@cpawsns.org</A>.</P>
