Shell Canada donates controversial offshore Nunavut exploration licences to NGO

The Canadian arm of Royal Dutch Shell has donated about 860 000 ha of offshore exploratory permits in the waters of Baffin Bay, near Lancaster Sound to the not-for-profit Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), to support the establishment of a national marine conservation area off the coast of Nunavut.
The NCC had subsequently released the permits to the Canadian federal government, thereby facilitating a marine conservation initiative of global significance.
