Ghost Gear Program’s Gear Management Survey

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) invites you to participate in the Ghost Gear Program’s Gear Management Survey. 

DFO is seeking to evaluate public knowledge of ghost gear (abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear) and gather feedback on future plans, measures and tools to prevent and address ghost gear. We invite you to fill out the survey online to have your voice heard.

The survey is available online at:  Share and view ideas: Ghost Gear Program’s Gear Management Survey

The survey opened on October 28, 2024 and will close on November 30, 2024.

Questions or comments can be sent to DFO.GGProgram-ProgrammeEF.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
