Definition
- The Atlantic Coastal Action Program (ACAP) is a unique community-based program initiated by Environment Canada in 1991 to help Atlantic Canadians restore and sustain watersheds and adjacent coastal areas. ACAP recognizes that local organizations are the most effective champions to achieve sustainability in their communities. The ACAP family is currently made up of 14 organizations in the four Atlantic provinces - two in Newfoundland, two in Prince Edward Island, five in Nova Scotia, and five in New Brunswick. Each one of these non-profit organizations operates independently, but is formally linked under the umbrella of ACAP to represent a force stronger than the individual parts. Environment Canada and the ACAP organizations share the same goals and vision for the environment. Together they achieve much more than any partner could on its own. The vision: ACAP envisions Atlantic Canada as a prosperous, diversified region of healthy, vibrant, sustainable, coastal communities that will retain their livelihoods for generations to come. The mission: ACAP helps communities to define common objectives for environmentally appropriate use of their resources and to develop plans and strategies that will help achieve them.
