Oak Hammock Marsh, Man., June 8, 2010—Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is deeply concerned about the impact of the oil in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to monitor the situation. Thankfully, many of the waterfowl that use the area for wintering grounds are now north in Canada’s breeding grounds; however, we recognize that profound changes to the Gulf Coast ecosystem could affect waterfowl next winter and for a long time to come.

Ducks Unlimited Canada’s focus is to ensure that Canada’s breeding grounds are protected and restored and provide the critical habitat needed by North American waterfowl.

Our colleagues at Ducks Unlimited, Inc. in the U.S. have long been involved in coastal marsh conservation, working to provide habitat that sustains millions of wintering waterfowl. They are seeking constructive ways to respond to this disaster; this includes establishing a Gulf Coast Oil Spill Resource Centre.

This Resource Centre page was created to provide Ducks Unlimited’s members and supporters with the most current information on their efforts concerning the Gulf region’s newest threat.

DUC will continue to monitor the situation and keep our supporters apprised. Visit the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Resource Centre at ducks.ca for the most current information.
