Design: The coin showcases a underwater scene that takes the viewer beneath the surface to meet the diverse aquatic life that can be found off Canada's shores in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. A 3D droplet dominates the centre of the design and frames a walrus that leads the eye into the design and around the outer edge where six ocean residents are positioned in a manner that roughly mirrors their geographical distribution in Canada. An iceberg floats in the upper right "Atlantic/Arctic" portion of the design while two species of Pacific kelp (bull and northern giant) frame the design as they define the West Coast. Presented clockwise from the top: ivory gulls glide above the water; a northern bottlenose whale; a pair of beluga whales; a leatherback sea turtle; a grey whale; and a basking shark.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a black box.
