正文(英文) | February 11, 2020 The Summit brings together over 250 harvesters, industry representatives, fishing gear manufacturers, marine mammal responders, ENGOs and government officials from Canada, the United States, Iceland and Norway. Participants contribute to panel discussions, as well as an interactive exhibit space that features innovations in gear technology and innovative programming from across the country. The Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, opened the Summit today by thanking fish harvesters for their continued cooperation and commitment to reducing fishing gear interactions with marine mammals. Harvesters and their respective organizations are key partners in mitigating and retrieving ghost gear, and taking steps to protect whales, including the endangered North Atlantic right whale, from becoming entangled in fishing gear. Over the last year, the department has been working on pilot projects, led by industry, to test the application of new gear technologies, such as ropeless gear. Initiatives such as these could help further reduce the amount of rope in the water and subsequently lower the risk of entanglements to whales in the future. Additionally, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has established the $8.3 million Sustainable Fisheries Solutions and Retrieval Support Contribution Program (Ghost Gear Fund). This program will help Indigenous groups, fish harvesters, the aquaculture industry, non-profit organizations and communities take concrete actions to support ghost gear prevention, retrieval and responsible disposal. It will also support fish harvesters in acquiring new gear technologies to reduce gear loss. This funding is over and above the funds announced for the Fisheries and Aquaculture Clean Technology Adoption Program, Atlantic Fisheries Fund and Quebec Fisheries Fund, which also encourage innovation and new technology to support the long-term health of Canada’s fish and seafood sector.
