So great to see Joyce Murray's mandate letter include "the continued implementation of the modernized Fisheries Act". #cdnpoli pm.gc.ca/en/mandate-let…

“The more logging that happens, the less climate change it can withstand,” said @Jon_W_Moore, whose work focuses on aquatic ecosystems. “Reciprocally, the more watersheds are protected, the more climate change resilient they are.” #cdnpoli #bcpoli #salmon theglobeandmail.com/canada/british…

“We knew that the Alaskans were catching a lot of B.C. salmon, as they have for a long time, but it was pretty jarring to see how their share of the catch has grown as ours has dwindled to protect #salmon." via Delta Optimist delta-optimist.com/highlights/ala… #AKFisheries #BCFisheries

Great to hear Fisheries and Oceans moving forward with Ecological Significant Areas framework. An important conservation tool to help protect fish and fish habitat in unique, sensitive or highly productive habitat. #cdnpoli #salmon

One of the crucial gains in the Fisheries Act was around rebuilding, but with details to come in regulation. It's time to get these right Joyce Murray and help restore abundance in our oceans and prevent future stocks from entering the critical zone. Oceana Canada Fisheries and Oceans

Holy mackerel! A tough, but great decision by Minister Joyce Murray today to use her powers in the Fisheries Act to protect fish and ensure that Atlantic mackerel and Gulf herring get out of the critical zone and rebuild. #cdnpoli

This new decision will close the directed commercial and bait #fisheries for Southern Gulf #herring as well as the Atlantic #mackerel and commercial bait fisheries in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. saltwire.com/atlantic-canad…

In 2019 the new Fisheries Act restored lost protections & created new provisions requiring rebuilding plans for depleted fish stocks. The regulations out now outline the elements needed in plans & list 30 stocks, incl'g 16 in the critical zone. #cdnpoli oceana.ca/en/press-relea…

Oceans North is celebrating a new milestone in 🇨🇦’s approach to #fisheries management that could help bring depleted fish stocks back from the brink. Learn more: oceansnorth.org/en/blog/2022/0… Joyce Murray Fisheries and Oceans

Watershed Watch's Stan Proboszcz documented how the number of Discovery Islands fish farms risk assessments was suddenly cut from 10 to 9, thus the effects of sea lice weren’t considered in the assessment process. #FishFarmsOut #WildSalmon thetyee.ca/News/2022/05/1…

Today we celebrate #WorldOceansDay! Great to see some implementation of the Fisheries Act with rebuilding regulations, #salmon funding and habitat restoration. Hope 2023 brings an end to open net fish farm permits on BC's coast, and ESA protections of estuaries & other. #cdnpoli

Important step today by Joyce Murray to protect wild #salmon - no renewal of fish farm permits in Discovery Islands, 2-yrs renewal with more conditions elsewhere on BC's coast, transition plan to end open net fin fish aquaculture to be drafted soon and complete in 2023. #cdnpoli

#DeepSeaMining is one of those incredibly stupid ideas. We have #mining disasters on land (Mount Polley, Brumadinho, etc,etc), and really need to keep mining companies out of our oceans (from mining & dumping). Joyce Murray needs to support Palau & others with moratorium #cdnpoli

Great to see federal and provincial collaboration to work with communities and Indigenous governments to improve #wildsalmon habitat continue Joyce Murray Josie Osborne 🇨🇦

There are no words to describe the loss of Meinhard Doelle, a giant of Cdn envtl law, a teacher, colleague, mentor & friend to so many. He was an exceptional person whose brilliant mind & kind soul will be dearly missed. Heartfelt condolences to his family.bit.ly/3R6DCSY

Breaking news: French National Assembly votes overwhelming for a moratorium on #deepseamining !

Great to hear Steven Guilbeault Joyce Murray Jonathan Wilkinson 🇨🇦 today at #IMPAC5 effectively announcing a moratorium on deep sea mining in Canadian waters. Hope to see on-going leadership result in a global moratorium in the coming months. #cdnpoli #mining canada.ca/en/natural-res…

Great to be put to good use! One of the few pieces of environmental legislation that continues to hold companies to account for pollution (arguably in need of even higher fines...). #cdnpoli

Today is #BCWildSalmonDay! The federal @fisheriesact has a conservation tool to protect unique, productive and/or rare fish habitat, such as the #Skeena Estuary, known as Ecologically Significant Areas. This key salmon habitat is a great ESA candidate area fisheriesact.ca
