Much needed new funding to address the wreckage caused by Hurricane Fiona.

[Fisheries and Oceans @FishOceansCAN]

📢 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.

@_C_Dixon No way!

[Joan Drinkwin @nrc_joan]

@healthyseas_org So true. But we do need some standard units of measurement for gear types. We use area for nets. @GGGInitiative @NWStraits

[Joan Drinkwin @nrc_joan]

Newly lost net retrieved last week from Point Roberts after timely reporting. Fishing gear loss reporting and retrieval are necessary components of well managed fisheries. @NWStraits @GGGInitiative

So excited about this launch! @NOAAFisheries @USFWSPacific @FishHabitat

[Joan Drinkwin @nrc_joan]

@healthyseas_org So great that the fishers reported this!

A great video by @coastalaction about the work they're doing in Nova Scotia with #ghostgear 👏

[Joan Drinkwin @nrc_joan]

@coastalaction Nice job!

[ESPS @emeraldsea_ps]

“During the past two years, the #GhostGear Program has helped remove approximately 739 tonnes of abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear from Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts. That is the equivalent weight of 231 Zambonis." 😮 👏
