Abstract
Canada's experience with coastal and ocean management, which can be traced back over thirty years, is defined by short periods of intense and promising announcements separated by much longer periods of neglect. The Oceans Action Plan of 2005 promised real action to implement the Oceans Act of 1997, with the use of Large Ocean Management Areas that could provide a uniquely Canadian approach to integrated coastal and ocean management. In 2008, the Coastal Zone Canada conference reviewed the status of Canada's progress toward coastal and ocean management and found it wanting. The 2010 Coastal Zone Canada conference sounded a clarion call for urgent action to address the serious degradation of the world's oceans and coasts, being caused by over-exploitation of resources, pollution, and the impacts of climate change. This article analyzes the highs and lows of Canada's approach to ocean and coastal management, and concludes that despite a comprehensive and innovative federal legislative framework, and after the high hopes of the Oceans Action Plan, the picture has again slipped back to one of relatively little progress toward fulfilling the promise of the Canada Oceans Act.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
