Managing Canada's Fisheries
Service Delivery Changes

The Department is adapting fisheries management programs and services to better respond to the current and future environment of Canada’s fisheries sector. Changing the way we deliver services to clients will also strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of our programs.

Fishermen across Canada, as well as fisheries-related businesses and organizations, are advised of the following changes that will come into effect in 2013:

• A new, national online licensing system.
• Revised requirements for logbooks, gear tags and tabs, and at-sea monitoring.
• Expanding multi-year fisheries management planning using multi-year stock assessments and advice.
