2025 Fishery Audit

Fishery Audit Report Cover

 

Oceana Canada’s 2025 Fishery Audit assesses the current state and management of Canada’s fish stocks, tracks progress, and provides recommendations to rebuild abundance. This year’s Audit finds that just over one-third of Canada’s managed wild marine fish populations, called stocks, are considered healthy. The rest are critically depleted, cautious, or lack a health status. Read the 2025 Fishery Audit to learn more.

Ditching the landfill-bound, single-use cups for ones that can be reused again and again means sustainability can become a permanent part of our stadiums, long after the final whistle.
