Environment related objective
|
To promote sustainable fisheries.
The objective of PICFI is to achieve a fair, sustainable, integrated commercial fishery on Canada's west coast, in which all commercial participants fish under common and transparent rules. One of the key pillars to support this objective is to address First Nations interests in increasing their participation in commercial fisheries. It also supports higher standards of accountability for all resource users, through enhanced fisheries monitoring and report and strengthened collaboration, and enhanced cooperation amongst fisheries interests.
