A report by Oceana Canada highlights significant concerns about the state of Canadian fish stocks, finding that nearly one in five are critically depleted and lack rebuilding plans. The audit of 194 fish stocks revealed that 33 are in critical condition and the health of 71 is uncertain due to insufficient data. The changing climate further complicates management efforts. The report criticizes the lack of plans for 26 of the 33 critically zone listed stocks and calls for more effective management, particularly for forage fish. It also points out the need for more diverse fisheries revenues and the lack of regulations two years after the Fisheries Act was passed. Despite some progress towards greater transparency and science investment, Oceana urges Canada to speed up the implementation of modern fisheries management practices.

More than 80 per cent of the critically depleted stocks lack rebuilding plans to restore them to healthy levels, says the fifth annual audit report released Tuesday by Oceana Canada, an independent charity dedicated to ocean conservation. Robert Rangeley, the advocacy group's science director, called that percentage "extraordinarily high." "We have a challenge in our oceans where we are not managing them effectively," Rangeley said in a recent interview. "There's no sense of urgency and we are not delivering on commitments." Oceana Canada's audit investigated 194 Canadian fish stocks and listed 33 in critical condition and the health of 71 as uncertain. The report said the health status of a third of the stocks remains uncertain because of insufficient data — leaving the federal Fisheries Department operating "mostly in the ...
