This research was prompted by requests from fishing industry representatives who wished to see the commercial and recreation fishermen have a greater stake in the study and management of living marine resources. The project was undertaken in basically two phases. Phase 1 involved a Needs assessment Phase 2 took recommendations from the assessment and implemented cooperative research projects with the recreational and commercial fishing community members. Additionally, new research needs were uncovered over the course of the project and research projects were developed as opportunities arose. The research projects are grouped as Contractual projects and Grants. The Contractual Projects were largely specific programs that came directly out of the Needs Assessment. DNR Cooperative Research personnel developed project outlines and then contracted with private parties, primarily commercial and recreational fishermen, to complete the tasks. For projects that were anticipated to exceed a cost minimum established by state law, a bidding process had to be utilized. We also solicited ideas for research needs and projects from the public. Because DNR does not have the authority under state law to issue grants, The SC Sea Grant Consortium was contracted as a subrecipient to administer a grant program for cooperative research projects. This proved to be a successful collaboration; utilizing Sea Grant‘s grant review and evaluation process and their Marine Extension agents who brought valuable experience that greatly facilitated dealing with the fishing public. Needs Assessment The potential applied-fisheries, management-based research topics included those related to resource assessment, fishery biology, socio-economics, resource management, and sustainable harvesting technology. These research needs were to address potential projects for both commercial and recreational fisheries. The assessment took place during year one of the grant period with a report

  • 2019-2020 Netukulimk Fish Harvest Plan
    ACADIA FIRST NATION 2019/20 NETUKULIMK FISH HARVEST PLAN Netukulimk is a cultural concept that encompasses Mi’kmaq sovereign law ways and guides individual and collective beliefs and behaviours in resource protection, procurement and management to ensure and honour sustainability and prosperity for our present and future generations. The Mi’kmaq relationship with the land, water and all wildlife in Mi’kma’ki laid the foundation for how we interact with and respect all life, as an expression of Mi’kmaq law ways. The principles of netukulimk are embedded in a value system that shaped the interaction between the Mi’kmaq and nature as a set of rules and obligations based on respectful gathering from the land and water in a manner that discouraged resource waste. Thus, through netukulimk, a human and animal relationship formed that allowed the survival of both in a sustainable manner. This Fishing Plan deals with food, social and ceremonial (“FSC”) fishing harvest by members of the Acadia First Nation as an aspect of netukulimk and as an exercise of Mi’kmaq self-government protected by section 35 of the Constitution Act, Canada. Access for the exercise of the FSC rights of the Mi’kmaq are a first priority in the fishery, after the needs of conservation have been met. This Netukulimk Fishing Plan is an evolving document and will be updated or amended by Chief and Council as required. It does not exhaustively define our Aboriginal right to fish or its scope; however, for the 2018/2019 fishing season, it is intended to provide a mechanism for the exercise of those rights within a system of proper management of the fisheries and the conservation and protection of fish.

  • Lobster Review
    Seafood Watch Seafood Report American lobster Homarus americanus (Image © Monterey Bay Aquarium) Northeast Region Final Report February 2, 2006 Matthew Elliott Independent Consultant Monterey Bay Aquarium American Lobster About Seafood Watch® and the Seafood Reports Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch® program evaluates the ecological sustainability of wild-caught and farmed seafood commonly found in the United States marketplace. Seafood Watch® defines sustainable seafood as originating from sources, whether wild-caught or farmed, which can maintain or increase production in the long-term without jeopardizing the structure or function of affected ecosystems. Seafood Watch® makes its science-based recommendations available to the public in the form of regional pocket guides that can be downloaded from the Internet (seafoodwatch.org) or obtained from the Seafood Watch® program by emailing [email protected]. The program’s goals are to raise awareness of important ocean conservation issues and empower seafood consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans. Each sustainability recommendation on the regional pocket guides is supported by a Seafood Report. Each report synthesizes and analyzes the most current ecological, fisheries and ecosystem science on a species, then evaluates this information against the program’s conservation ethic to arrive at a recommendation of “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives,” or “Avoid.” The detailed evaluation methodology is available upon request. In producing the Seafood Reports, Seafood Watch® seeks out research published in academic, peer-reviewed journals whenever possible. Other sources of information include government technical publications, fishery management plans and supporting documents, and other scientific reviews of ecological sustainability. Seafood Watch® Fisheries Research Analysts also communicate regularly with ecologists, fisheries and aquaculture scientists, and members of industry and conservation organizations when evaluating fisheries and aquaculture practices.
