Canada is world-famous for our breathtaking landscapes and their resident wildlife, but our country’s waters are an even greater treasure trove of extraordinary habitats and animals!
The Canadian Waters gallery takes you on a coast-to-coast journey through freshwater wilds, local fisheries, and kelp forests. Along the way, you’ll see more than 80 aquatic species, learn about invasive grass carp, and visit our giant Pacific octopus. From the Great Lakes — which account for 20% of the world’s fresh water — to the three oceans surrounding our coasts, it’s no wonder Canada’s marine habitats are home to such a variety of flora and fauna!
