Fisheries and Oceans Canada: Intelligence Support in Combatting Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fisheries

The Royal United Services Institute of Nova Scotia extends an invitation to a presentation Wednesday, 30 November by Jamie Foote, Marine Security Operations Centre (East), and Dustin DeGagne, Fisheries and Oceans Canada International Programs. The topic of their presentation is "Fisheries and Oceans Canada: Intelligence Support in Combatting Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fisheries." 

 

This presentation will be jointly represented by Fisheries and Oceans personnel from the Marine Security Operations Centre (East) and International Programs. It will highlight the multiple agencies within Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) having intelligence support roles in Canada's commitment to tackling Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. IUU fishing is a major contributor to declining fish stocks and marine habitat destruction and takes many forms both within nationally-controlled waters and on the high seas.

 

The event will start at 1 pm Atlantic/Halifax time, Wednesday, 30 November, then be followed by Q&A and finish by 3 pm Atlantic time.
