Around the world, World Wetlands Day is celebrated February 2nd every year, as part of the Ramsar program. This year's theme is Wetland Tourism. Ramsar (Iran) is where an international convention was held in 1971 on wetlands and their global conservation. Canada was a signatory to the resulting agreement between countries to conserve the wetlands of international significance within their jurisdiction ("Ramsar" sites).

The Fraser River estuary and its associated wetlands (including the Sanctuary) are recognized world-wide for their importance to birds migrating along the Pacific Coast of North America. Bird species from 22 countries and three continents pass through this area during their migrations between breeding and wintering grounds.
