    Regulating and Monitoring British Columbia’s Marine Finfish Aquaculture Facilities 2018 Fisheries and Oceans Pêches et Océans Canada Canada 2 Marine Finfish Aquaculture in BC LOCATIONS OF MARINE FINFISH AQUACULTURE SHARE OF FACILITIES PRODUCTION BIOMASS Marine finfish aquaculture facilities are mainly located around northern and western BY SPECIES Vancouver Island. There are clusters of sites in several areas, such as Clayoquot Sound, the Port Hardy area, the Broughton Archipelago, and the Discovery Islands. All marine Atlantic Salmon finfish aquaculture facilities with a valid licence as of December 31, 2018 are shown 95.7% in the map on the following page. Chinook Salmon 2.7% MARINE FINFISH SPECIES CULTIVATED IN BC Sablefish Most marine finfish aquaculture licences are issued for salmon, with Atlantic Salmon 1.6% (Salmo salar) and Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) being the most commonly farmed fish in BC. Some other species, such as SablefishAnoplopoma ( fimbria), are also cultivated on a smaller scale. Atlantic Salmon is the preferred species for cold water marine finfish cultivation around the world because these fish feed well on pellets, are efficient at converting food to body mass, grow quickly, and are well adapted to the confines of a net pen. HOW FISH FARMING IS REGULATED IN CANADA Fish farming is jointly managed among federal, provincial and territorial governments. How it’s managed varies across provinces and territories. Across Canada, fish farming is managed sustainably under the Fisheries Act. Federal partners

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Community Resiliency Investment (CRI) grant is a provincial program intended to reduce the risk and impact of wildfires on communities in BC. The general goal of FireSmart is to encourage communities and citizens to adopt and conduct FireSmart practices to mitigate the negative impacts of wildfire to public and private property assets. The program can contribute up to 100% of the cost of eligible activities provided the application has a Council or Board resolution indicating support for the proposed activities and a willingness to provide overall grant management. Regional Districts may submit a single application for eligible, collaborative projects that include multiple electoral areas. The maximum base funding for fuel management is $50,000 plus up to $50,000 for FireSmart activities for each electoral area. All local governments (municipalities and regional districts) and First Nations (bands and Treaty First Nations) in BC are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants may submit one application per intake. The deadline for the next intake of applications is October 8, 2021. It is proposed that an application be submitted by the Regional District to undertake a number of FireSmart activities in each electoral area as outlined below in detail. If approved, it is anticipated that 100% of the total costs of the FireSmart activities would be covered by the grant award.

  • A2 Marine Mammal Guidelines and Marine Protected Areas
    Notices to Mariners 1 to 46 Section A – Aids to Navigation and Marine Safety A2 Marine Mammal Guidelines and Marine Protected Areas 5 General Guidelines for Aquatic Species at Risk and Important Marine Mammal Areas Fisheries and Oceans Canada is responsible for ensuring the protection and conservation of aquatic species at risk listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) (including listed marine mammals), and for protecting their critical habitat once identified. Critical habitat is defined in SARA section 2(1) as “…the habitat that is necessary for the survival or recovery of a listed wildlife species and that is identified as the species’ critical habitat in the recovery strategy or in an action plan for the species.” SARA defines habitat for aquatic species at risk as “… spawning grounds and nursery, rearing, food supply, migration and any other areas on which aquatic species depend directly or indirectly in order to carry out their life processes, or areas where aquatic species formerly occurred and have the potential to be reintroduced”. Under SARA, it is an offence to kill, harm, harass, capture, take , possess, collect, buy, sell or trade any SARA-listed extirpated, endangered or threatened animal or any part or derivative of an individual to damage or destroy the residences of its individuals. It is also prohibited to destroy critical habitat, once it has been identified in a recovery plan or action plan and is legally protected. These prohibitions do not apply to species listed as special concern. Individuals who contravene the provisions of SARA may be found guilty of an offence and liable for a fine or penalty pursuant to section 97 of SARA.

  • Pacific Region Integrated Fisheries
    PACIFIC REGION INTEGRATED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PLAN SEA CUCUMBER BY DIVE OCTOBER 1, 2020 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 Sea Cucumber: Apostichopus californicus This Integrated Fisheries Management Plan is intended for general purposes only. Where there is a discrepancy between the Plan and the Fisheries Act and Regulations, the Act and Regulations are the final authority. A description of Areas and Subareas referenced in this Plan can be found in the Pacific Fishery Management Area Regulations. FOREWORD The purpose of this Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP) is to identify the main objectives and requirements for the Sea Cucumber fishery in the Pacific Region, as well as the management measures that will be used to achieve these objectives. This document also serves to communicate the basic information on the fishery and its management to Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) staff, legislated co-management boards and other stakeholders. This IFMP provides a common understanding of the basic “rules” for the sustainable management of the fisheries resource. This IFMP is not a legally binding instrument which can form the basis of a legal challenge. The IFMP can be modified at any time and does not fetter the Minister's discretionary powers set out in the Fisheries Act. The Minister can, for reasons of conservation or for any other valid reasons, modify any provision of the IFMP in accordance with the powers granted pursuant to the Fisheries Act. Where DFO is responsible for implementing obligations under land claims agreements, the IFMP will be implemented in a manner consistent with these obligations. In the event that an IFMP is inconsistent with obligations under land claims agreements, the provisions of the land claims agreements will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
