正文(英文) | June 7, 2021 St. John’s, NL - In order to study Atlantic Salmon migration patterns, the Government of Canada is contributing to a multi-faceted community-based marine science research project funded by the Environmental Studies Research Fund. The shared goal is to enhance our understanding of Atlantic salmon migration in the offshore waters of Eastern Canada. Today, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Honourable Bernadette Jordan is pleased to announce along with the Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Seamus O’Regan Jr. that Fisheries and Oceans Canada received $11.8 million from the Environmental Studies Research Fund (ESRF) administered by Natural Resources Canada. The ESRF supports environmental and social research and is funded by levies paid by lease-holding oil and gas companies active in Canada’s frontier lands. Dr. Martha Robertson, a Fisheries and Oceans Canada research scientist from Newfoundland and Labrador, and her team are using this funding to track Atlantic salmon migration patterns in the offshore regions in eastern Canada over a five-year period. New science-based information on Atlantic salmon migratory patterns at sea will inform regulatory decision making in the offshore Atlantic Fisheries. Fisheries and Oceans Canada will collaborate with over 50 partners in this project. This includes 30 federal and provincial government partners, 14 Indigenous organizations and governments, and seven industry, academic, and non-governmental organizations. Working together, partners will advance knowledge on wild Atlantic salmon by sharing expertise and resources, and generate knowledge that can improve conservation and management of this iconic species. Funding will be provided to a number of key research partners including The Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) at Dalhousie University, who will receive $2.4M for acoustic telemetry work; the Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources (UNIR) will receive $1.1M to support the incorporation of essential Indigenous knowledge, and coordination with local communities; and the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) will receive $2.5M for fieldwork involving satellite telemetry. This important work builds upon the investments already made in Atlantic salmon science by the Government of Canada. This includes the Atlantic Salmon Research Joint Venture, and the Coastal Restoration Fund, which supports improving salmon habitat and restoring and protecting marine and coastal habitats. Quotes
