We are determined. We have harvesters, producers and processors who are working hard, under unusual circumstances to bring healthy food to Canadian tables. Our researchers continue to carry out critical services and provide scientific advice to support decisions that help ensure our ecosystems are sustainable for the benefit of all Canadians. The women and men of the Canadian Coast Guard are ensuring ships can continue to move goods and supplies that support communities and the economy, and helping keep all mariners safe. Together we are paving the road for the sustainable use of our oceans that supports economic growth now and generations to come.
We are collaborative. We are working together to ensure the long term economic livelihood of our fisheries during this pandemic, and with targeted supports like the Canadian Seafood Stabilization Fund, the Fish Harvester Benefit and the Fish Harvester Grant, the women and men who provide us with healthy fish and seafood can continue to do so safely. It is through constant communication with coastal and Indigenous communities, fish harvesters, aquaculture producers, and seafood processors that we can understand what they need to stay safe and strong.
We are innovative. Together with communities, provincial and territorial partners, industry and Indigenous peoples, the best ideas are brought forward. As we conduct science, help protect endangered species, work to safeguard our oceans and prevent pollution, all while facing a pandemic, we are strengthening our relationships with Canadians whose livelihoods depend on our oceans, and all those who want to ensure its long term sustainability. We are proud to support and leverage the incredible innovations that Canadians have developed through the Multi-Partner Research Initiative, Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk, and Gear Innovation Summit, just to name a few. Even though we can't do it face to face, we are finding ways to connect and will continue to do so for our future- it is when we work together that we can meet the needs of all Canadians.
