An investment of $460,000 is being made in equipment aimed at improving the effectiveness, quality and sustainability of New Brunswick's fisheries and seafood sector.
The funding will help the Atlantic Canada Fish Farmers Association with the purchase and installation of two real-time monitoring buoys equipped with sensors. Data collected from the buoys in Passamaquoddy Bay will be used to support decision-making for the aquaculture industry and for matters of concern to other marine users, such as fishers and tourism operators.
"Investing in technology like real-time monitoring buoys in the Bay of Fundy is an important part of our commitment to the long-term sustainability of the provincial seafood and aquaculture industries," said Aquaculture and Fisheries Minister Rick Doucet. "The success of this sector is a direct result of the hard work, innovative people and companies behind it. Demand for New Brunswick's seafood is at an all-time high and we will continue to work with our aquaculture and fisheries sectors to find new ways to thrive, generate jobs and contribute to our economy."
