...the past year and I encourage those who have not yet applied to do so,' said the Honourable Gail Shea, federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans. "Looking at the long term, the major focus of our investment is the development of a self-reliant and economically viable lobster sector. It is encouraging to note that we have healthy and sustainable lobster stocks throughout Canada's eastern shores that we can build on for the future. I am also pleased to note several recent developments, such as the founding of the Lobster Council of Canada, that signal a real sea change in the industry." As of November 8, 987 applications have been approved for total funding of $4,848,772...
...meeting and is optimistic at members' recognition that decisive action in favour of sustainable management of Atlantic bluefin tuna is needed. "ICCAT members have adopted a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) for the EBFT fishery of 13,500t, which falls within the science advice. Additionally, the fishing season for purse seine vessels, which account for the majority of catches in this fishery, has been cut in half from two months to one. ICCAT has also shown the willingness to take action against members who do not comply with agreed upon management measures. Members must now act on their commitments and ensure fishing fleets fully comply with the agreed TAC, quotas, and related management measures. Those ICCAT members failing to comply must face severe penalties. 'In the past, Canada has been disappointed that the advice of science was not being followed by members and that overfishing continued, particularly in the EasternEastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. ICCAT has in place a program to effectively track and control the trade of bluefin and we have already begun to see improved monitoring and enforcement against illegal fishing activities. Our Government continues to encourage all members to act on their commitment to take steps to better manage the stocks. 'Canada's Western Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery respects the principles of the precautionary approach, follows scientific advice and is a model of sustainable management. We have limited the number of Canadian licenses for years and every fish caught in the Canadian fishery is tagged and can be tracked to market. 'ICCAT has also agreed to continued management measures for North Atlantic Swordfish, a stock that has been successfully rebuilt. Canada's quota for this stock will be 1,473t for 2010, which is slightly increased from 2009. 'The Government of Canada is leading the way and remains committed to sustainable fishing practices, based on sound conservation and management principles. Ensuring ongoing economic opportunities for fishers will require determination and short-term sacrifice by all those fishing the EasternEastern Atlantic and Mediterranean in order to protect our bluefin tuna fisheries over the long term.'
