Title: The State of Canada’s Fisheries: Oceana Canada’s 2021 Fishery Audit
Speaker: Isabelle Jubinville

Time: 10:00 a.m. PDT
This webinar is facilitated by the CSEB and is open to the public (see the registration link below).
Rebuilding depleted fisheries and preventing healthy fish populations from declining requires good science, monitoring and management. Oceana Canada’s fifth annual Fishery Audit assesses the current state of Canada’s fisheries, tracks progress in key science and management indicators from 2017 to 2021, and provides recommendations to meet federal policy commitments to return wild fish populations to abundance in Canada’s oceans.
