Notice to Fish Harvesters
Launch of the new Fishing Gear Reporting Tool
Québec – July 29th, 2021
Fisheries and Oceans Canada is pleased to announce the launch of the online Fishing Gear Reporting System. Fish harvesters and authorized retrievers can now easily access and submit the required lost or retrieved gear reporting forms simply and efficiently. This reporting helps the Department and other partners locate and remove lost gear from our waters and, in many cases, return the gear to its rightful owner.
Access to the reporting system as well as PDF forms, if required, continue to be available at the commercial reporting website. Harvesters may report their lost and retrieved gear through either the reporting system or through ELOGS, if available.
If you have questions or require assistance using the reporting system, please E-mail: DFO.LostandRetrievedGearQuestions_QuestionsEnginsPerdusRecup.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
