Committed to the conservation, enhancement and stewardship of habitat across Newfoundland and Labrador

The Hare Bay Coastal Stewardship Zone complements the coastal habitat surrounding the existing Hare Bay Ecological Reserve. Many species of waterfowl and sea ducks, in particular the common eider, use the rocky coasts, shoals, and islands of Hare Bay for breeding, nesting, moulting, staging and overwintering. The Hare Bay Reserve also protects many unique geological and ecological features such as rich beds of Early and Middle Ordovician-age fossil gastropods. Hare Bay is visited regularly by people from several communities on the coast for a variety of activities such as berry-picking, fishing, small game and waterfowl hunting, boating, sightseeing and snowmobiling. In partnership with the Eastern Habitat Joint Venture, the Town of St. Anthony, through the signing of a coastal stewardship agreement has agreed to support the promotion and implementation of best stewardship practices for the coastal area of Hare Bay.
