Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To advance rigorous scientific research and applied environmental knowledge that supports the conservation, restoration, and climate resilience of coastal and wetland ecosystems in Nova Scotia and across Atlantic Canada.

Blue Maritimes Society is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. This territory is covered by the Peace and Friendship Treaties, a series of treaties signed between 1725 and 1779 between the British Crown and members of the Wabanaki Confederacy, including the Mi’kmaq and the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet). Mi’kmaw Peoples have lived on and cared for this land for more than 13,500 years.

Our Vision

Atlantic Canada recognized globally as a leader in coastal science, blue carbon research, and innovative nature-based climate solutions.
