as its nature. I'm sure all 5 of us who attended from P.E.I. 
     
     will agree that the Calgarians deserve our warmest thanks for 
     
     hosting an excellent conference. ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     Next year's conference will be held in Sackville, N.B., 
     
     August 12-15. The theme will be estuaries. Make plans now to 
     
     attend, so that P.E.I. can be well represented. For those of 
     
     you who haven't yet attended a CNF conference, next year is 
     
     your chance. See you there! 
     
    
   
   
    
     i. SUMMARY OF RESOLUTIONS PASSED Q 
     
     AT I982 CNF CONFERENCE 
     
    
   
   
    
     INTERBASIN WATER TRANSFER IN ALBERTA. CNF urges the Government of 
     
     Alberta to halt dam construction and convene a public inquiry into 
     
     water management in the Province focussing on interbasin transfer, 
     
     a concept toward which, without public knowledge, government 
     
     management strategies are being directed. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     WHOOPING CRANES. With the increase use by whooping cranes of 
     
    

    
     Matagorda Island, Texas, CNF urges the U.S. Government to transfer ‘ 
     
     jurisdiction of its property there to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife 
     
    

    
     Service as an addition to the nearby Aransas National Wildlife 
     
    

    
     Refuge, the cranes' major wintering area. 
     
    
   
   
    
     SAGUENAY WHALES. Given the importance of the confluence of the 
     
    

    
     Saguenay and St. Lawrence Rivers to seven species of whales, CNF 
     
     urges the Quebec and Canadian Governments to establish a marine 
     
    

    
     and terrestrial park, control disturbance of the whales, provide 
     
     interpretive programs and viewpoint, and to conduct research. 
     
    
   
   
    
     LANCASTER SOUND. In light of the exceptional biological productivity 
     
     which supports great diversity and numbers of marine mammals, birds 
     
     and other life forms in Lancaster Sound, CNF urges the Canadian 
     
     Government to continue the moratorium on gas and oil drilling and 
     
     year-round tanker traffic in the area until a conservation strategy 
     
     and a regional plan which will ensure protection of these important 
     
     biological resources have been implemented. 
     
    
   
   
    
     HIBERNIA. CNF urges Mobil Oil to immediately release its environ- 
     
    

    
     mental impact statement to allow public view, and urges the Govern- 
     
     ments of Canada and Newfoundland & Labrador to initiate a coastal— 
     
    

    
     zone management program to protect sensitive areas. 
     
    
   
   
    
     PESTICIDES. CNF urges the Canadian Government to make changes in . 
     
     pestiCide registration procedures, place greater emphasis on alternate 
     
     pest management systems and to allow the public more information and 
     
     opportunity to participate in decisions regarding registration of 
     
    

    
     new pesticides.
