正文(英文) | August 15, 2019 Halifax, Nova Scotia - Today, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, and Member of Parliament for Central Nova, Sean Fraser were in Tangier, Nova Scotia to meet with fish harvesters and other invested Nova Scotians to discuss ideas regarding conservation of the unique ecosystem on the Eastern Shore. Local communities have long been concerned with the conservation of the unique natural ecosystems found on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. However, recent discussions relating to the potential establishment on a Marine Protected Area (MPA) in this region has generated questions and concerns on the part of many who live in the area. During an initial visit to Tangier on May 8, 2019, Minister Wilkinson indicated that no timeline existed for completing discussions and that options existed with regard to if and how best to move forward. The Minister also committed that he would return for additional discussions once the lobster season was completed, and has now done so. During discussions that took place today, Minister Wilkinson committed to a broad and inclusive process focused on conservation – one that would ensure that the voices of all impacted local parties are heard and are integrated into any decision making process. That is why, the Minister today announced the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) commitment to two important next steps:
In addition to discussing next steps regarding conservation, the Minister also indicated that DFO has recently completed initial drafts of a number of ecological risk assessments for the Eastern Shore, including for aquaculture and marine transportation. The results of these assessments are relevant to future considerations regarding conservation priorities and will be the subject of discussion with local stakeholders before they are finalized. A summary of these assessments will be made public this week, and the full technical document will be made available soon. One key finding in these assessments, which had previously been communicated, is that lobster harvesting in the Eastern Shore is fully compatible with a Marine Protected Area, should one be established.
