正文(英文) | August 14, 2019 Ottawa, Ontario — The sustainable management of Canadian fisheries is important to fish harvesters whose livelihoods are supported by the ocean. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) ensures that the best available science is considered when making management decisions for seals. However, DFO has continuously heard concerns by fish harvesters about the relationship between seals and fish populations. Listening to these concerns, DFO is taking action to address a concern that encompasses not only Newfoundland and Labrador, but all Atlantic Canada and Quebec coasts. Today, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced the establishment of a Task Team on Atlantic seal science. This complements activities recently announced in British Columbia to assess scientific evidence relating to population dynamics of seals and sea lions and their impact on fish populations. The Task Team will be co-chaired by a DFO official from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Glenn Blackwood, the vice-president of Memorial University for the Fisheries and Marine Institute. The Task Team will:
The task team will be composed of six to ten members from the fishing industry and stakeholder groups, will have a broad expertise and experience in Atlantic fisheries, and will be asked to sit for up to one year. The Department expects to finalize the participants over the next several weeks at which time information on how the public can be involved will be made available. This new initiative will help ensure that the best available science is considered when making management decisions for seals and sea lions, with the goal of sustaining a healthy and productive aquatic ecosystems.
