The Coastal Stewardship Program was developed by the
Eastern Habitat Joint Venture (EHJV) to encourage
communities that have a historic relationship with
coastal areas frequented by eider ducks to recognize the
value of this resource and to accept a stewardship role
in maintaining their integrity. The Newfoundland and
Labrador division of the EHJV is administered through
the Department of Environment and Conservation.
