Schedule B

Outline of Fortune Head Ecological Reserve Management Plan

The area known as Fortune Head on the Burin Peninsula is established as an ecological reserve to preserve a unique and internationally significant fossil assemblage which marks the boundary between the Precambrian and Cambrian, over 600 million years ago, for scientific and educational purposes. To accomplish this, there will be no removal of fossils or other material from the site except under specific permit, and there will be no development within the reserve. Scientific research at the site will be encouraged, and educational use will be permitted where it does not conflict with the general objectives of preservation and scientific research.
