FAIR DEALING / USE NOTICE:
http://www.copyright.ualberta.ca/UofA_FairDealing.pdf

Fair dealing is a statutory exception to copyright infringement. It is a defence, with the burden of proof upon the defendant. To qualify under the fair dealing exception, the dealing must be for a purpose enumerated in sections 29, 29.1 or 29.2 of the Copyright Act of Canada (research, private study, education, parody, satire, criticism or review and news reporting), and the dealing must be fair. The Copyright Act allows a FAIR DEALING exception that permits the use of a substantial portion of a copyright work for the purpose of research, private study, criticism or review, or news reporting. We work to adhere to the guidelines set forth under the fair dealing sections by providing information related to education and research as well as news reporting related directly to ocean awareness, health and ocean plastic pollution.  This non-profit foundations use of content is in accordance with “Fair Dealing” guidelines.
