Description
Federal Funding Initiative Tackles Ghost Gear in Canadian Waters
The Canadian government is allocating $15 million over three years to combat ghost gear, lost or discarded fishing equipment causing environmental and economic harm. Since 2020, over 2,500 tons of ghost gear have been removed, preventing harm to marine life and fisheries. A study in Nova Scotia revealed that abandoned gear costs the lobster industry nearly $200,000 annually in lost catches. The deadline for project proposals is June 29th.
