Department of Fisheries & Oceans: 2019 Aquaculture Sustainability
In June 2019 the DFO announced a number of initiatives to enhance aquaculture sustainability in Canada, including the establishment of three Technical Working Groups and a coordinating Indigenous and Multi-Stakeholder Body. UBCM and AVICC were offered the opportunity to have representatives on these groups.
The engagement process was completed in the summer of 2020, and a summary of the engagement process and the Technical Working Group reports will be posted on Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s website. A formal response to the recommendations that were provided via the process are expected the end of 2020.
