Our Lakes and Rivers: Protecting Our Natural Heritage
The Coalition for Responsible and Sustainable Navigation (hereinafter referred to as Coalition Navigation) is a Canadian non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that legislation governing the use of motorized boats protects the ecosystems of Canada’s lakes, rivers, and waterways.
Since 2013, the organization has been developing and submitting legislative proposals to the federal government based on scientific recommendations to promote the responsible use of motorized watercraft on Canada’s bodies of water.
The Coalition for Responsible and Sustainable Navigation is committed to ensuring that motorized boating activities on Canadian waterways remain within the environmental carrying capacity of lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. The organization also seeks to raise awareness among boaters about the negative impacts that recreational navigation can have on aquatic ecosystems and waterways.
Supported by its members and partners, the Coalition for Responsible and Sustainable Navigation is proud to bring together people from across Canada to help protect the environment. Through the support, generosity, and commitment of our members, donors, and volunteers, we can work together to positively influence public policy and safeguard Canada’s aquatic ecosystems for future generations.
Take Action Today and Help Protect Our Lakes, Rivers, and Waterways.
Our Goal: Raise $25,000 to fund concrete actions that protect our precious lakes, rivers, and aquatic ecosystems. Every donation-large or small-brings us one step closer to achieving this essential goal. Together, we can help reduce shoreline erosion, minimize the impact of destructive waves, and preserve the biodiversity that makes our waterways so valuable.
