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 16 organizations in the four Atlantic provinces. 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.

By empowering communities and taking on a holistic approach towards protecting the environment, ACAP communities and their partners have achieved great successes. We invite you to celebrate them with us and learn more about the ACAP family of communities.
