Encouraging to see the ongoing govt support for ghost gear cleanup efforts!👏 We dream of a day when every fish harvester in Atlantic Canada can be compensated for removing ghost gear!
📢 As part of the #HurricaneFionaRecoveryFund, Minister Murray has announced the launch of a new call for proposals for the #GhostGearFund in an effort to retrieve, return, and responsibly dispose of gear that was lost during the storm.
