Canada’s fisheries are in trouble: the proof is in the numbers
Estimated reading time: 0 minutes
In case you haven’t been tracking fish populations and the state of Canada’s fisheries, you may have missed what’s been unfolding off the shores of Canada.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada reports that there are 19 Canadian marine stocks in critical condition; however Oceana Canada found 26 in our independent analysis using the same sources. What’s more concerning is that there are only three plans in place to rebuild these 26 dangerously depleted populations.
The time to act is now, learn more by exploring FisheryAudit.ca and share the #FisheryAudit to help raise awareness. Together, we can rebuild fish populations; the health of the oceans and the future of Canada’s fisheries depend on it.
