The Canadian Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries |
| Description |
|
By endorsing the Canadian Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing Operations, fish harvesters volunteer to take appropriate measures to ensure fisheries are harvested and managed responsibly to safeguard sustainable use of Canada's freshwater and marine resources, and to pursue the ecological sustainability of Canadian fisheries. The Code has now been ratified by fisheries fleets and organizations that account for over 80 per cent of Canada’s commercial fish harvest. |
