Canada Acts to Make the Status of Fisheries More Transparent to Its Citizens

After campaigning by Oceana and our partners, Fisheries and Oceans Canada released – for the first time – a comprehensive review of the status of Canadian fisheries. The federal government department also announced that it will develop and implement rebuilding plans for 19 fisheries, all to be completed by March 2021. These first steps are major leaps forward for increasing fisheries management transparency and accountability in Canada.
