Entry into force notes

The Fisheries Protection Policy Statement enters into force on 25 November 2013 and will be reviewed at least every 10 years.

Resumen

The Fisheries Protection Policy Statement applies to proponents of existing or proposed works, undertakings or activities that are likely to result in impacts to fish or fish habitat that are part of or support commercial, recreational or Aboriginal fisheries, including projects that have the potential to affect the passage of fish or modify the flow of watercourses. The purpose of the Fisheries Protection Policy Statement is two-fold: 1) to set out how the Department and its regulatory partners will apply the fisheries protection provisions of the Fisheries Act and guide the development of regulations, standards and directives; and 2) to provide guidance to proponents of projects on the application of the fisheries protection provisions of the Fisheries Act. The goal of the Department in applying this Fisheries Protection Policy is to provide for the sustainability and ongoing productivity of commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries. Through the Fisheries Protection Policy Statement, the Department’s objectives are to provide consistent guidance through regulations, standards and directives, and to make regulatory decisions in a timely manner. In this way, proponents will have the necessary information and direction to avoid, mitigate and offset harmful impacts to fish and fish habitat so that they will meet the goal of this policy, and thereby comply with the fisheries protection provisions of the Fisheries Act.
