What is Northeast Avalon ACAP?
    • ACAP is a community advocacy group formed in 1993 with the support of Environment Canada under the Atlantic Coastal Action Program to address environmental issues affecting the quality of our natural resources with a particular emphasis on St. John's Harbour, and the watersheds and coastal areas of the Northeast Avalon in an area defined by the Witless Bay Line that runs from Holyrood to Witless Bay, and north to Cape St. Francis.

    • ACAP provides a forum where elected board members, the public, and personnel from all three levels of government can meet to openly discuss environmental issues.

    • In 1997, the ACAP Comprehensive Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) identified environmental concerns and potential engineering solutions for St. John's Harbour.

    • ACAP was instrumental in helping to secure $93 million committment in funding from all three levels of government for the STP in St. John's Harbour.

    • In 2003 The CEMP was revised to expand St. John's ACAP's boundary and more accurately reflect it's areas of interest.
