Indigenous Program Review in Brief

Between May 2017 and May 2019, the Institute reviewed the programs at Fisheries and Oceans Canada which support Indigenous involvement in commercial fishing and aquaculture operations and the collaborative management of fisheries, aquatic resources, oceans, and habitat.

Five programs were reviewed:

• The Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy
• The Aboriginal Fishery Guardian Program
• The Aboriginal Aquatic Resource and Oceans Management Program
• The Atlantic Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative
• The Pacific Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative

We also engaged eligible participants in the development of a new Northern Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative.
