We’re seeking feedback from:

We don’t have a national policy on catch reporting and fishery monitoring. This has led to:
- an absence of national goals for catch reporting and monitoring in fisheries with which to assess performance
- inconsistent monitoring and reporting requirements and no explanation for the differences
- some concerns about the adequacy and quality of data from fishery monitoring programs, which is needed to manage fisheries
- catch quantities
- types and levels of bycatch
- the location and timing of fishing activities
- science stock assessments and the long-term sustainable management of fisheries
- maintaining public confidence in the management of fisheries and the health of fish stocks and ecosystems
- Canadian fisheries to maintain market access, such as by helping to meet the requirements for eco-certification
We will continue administering fisheries monitoring programs, such as:
- log books and elogs
- at-sea observers
- dockside monitoring
- vessel monitoring systems
- electronic monitoring
- other operational programming related to catch reporting and monitoring
