Ecological integrity concerns the wholeness and wellness of ecosystems.
The principles of the recent Strategic Framework to Sustain the Integrity of Ecosystems and the following broad ecosystem goals are used to maintain ecological integrity, develop a detailed conservation program and review the Ecosystem Conservation Plan. To provide high levels of protection for the natural processes which sustain habitat types representative of the Maritime Plain Natural Region. To maintain biological diversity through emphasis on the protection and preservation of representative Park resource features not protected elsewhere in the Maritime Plain Natural Region, and risk due to their uniqueness, rarity or fragility. To minimize human interference with the natural evolution of physical and biological resources from a benchmark date of 1969, when a Federal and Provincial agreement to establish the Park was signed. To maintain a sound ecosystem monitoring program and report regularly upon the state of the ecosystems in the Park.
