Fisheries ministers in Canada have committed to working together to benefit the country's aquaculture industry.
In a meeting held in Quebec, the ministers discussed three challenges the fisheries and aquaculture industry faces: developing the lobster industry, protecting fisheries and preventing invasive aquatic species form entering Canadian waters.
“Today was a day of collaboration between federal, provincial and
territorial partners,” said the Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of
Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “We want to see our fisheries and
aquaculture industries grow and we remain committed to working together
to protect our fisheries’ productivity and develop the fishing and
aquaculture industries to ensure its sustainable future in Canadian
waters.”
“It was a pleasure to welcome the federal, provincial
and territorial fisheries and aquaculture ministers and to share our
priorities and directions. Our government will continue to support
initiatives that help make Quebec’s fisheries and aquaculture industry a
prosperous industry that creates well-paying jobs, is environmentally
responsible and contributes to the highest and best use of our
territory’s resources,” said Jeannine Richard, Parliamentary Assistant
to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and MNA for
Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
An aquaculture cage has been found floating adrift in Cuttail Island, Burgeo, Canada.
The 40 foot cage is made from plastic pipes and is missing its netting.
So far, no one has come forward to claim it.
