Oceana Canada’s recently released “Fishery Audit 2023” claims the Canadian government and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Canada has made virtually no progress at rebuilding and maintaining the sustainability of its fishing stocks.

The report is the seventh time Oceana Canada has assessed Canada’s fisheries management, and in that time DFO and the Canadian government has made little progress, the organization said.
