Fisheries Act

Fish habitat is essential to the stability and productivity of fisheries. In Canada, the primary legal tool for protecting fish habitat is the federal Fisheries Act. In 2012, this law was changed to narrow the scope of habitat protection. The government’s position was that the previous regime went beyond what was necessary to protect fish and fish habitat. Here, we tested that assertion by examining Fisheries Act authorizations to harmfully alter, disrupt, or destroy fish habitat issued by Fisheries and Oceans Canada during a 6-month period in 2012, obtained using access to information processes. We found the majority of projects (67%) were authorized to impact more habitat than proponents were required to compensate for, likely resulting in a net loss of fish habitat. Our analysis show an aggregate net loss — defined as authorized impact minus required compensation — of 2 919 143 m2 authorized across 78 projects. Drawing from these results, we present four recommendations for an improved habitat protection regime under a renewed Fisheries Act, emphasizing the need to establish a public registry for authorizations and monitoring data.

Local Agencies

Successful fish habitat protection occurs in areas of urban/industrial development when responsible citizens in rural watersheds can produce and implement local water quality plans binding on all agencies. In 1985, legislation in the state of Washington, USA, authorized a central planning agency — the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority — to initiate local watershed planning exercises through counties or other local agencies. The essential elements of community mobilization to the goals and activities of water quality planning were analyzed by comparing key factors in highly successful planning processes with factors in less successful ones. This permitted generalizations about basic organizing principles, educational procedures, and techniques of consensus building in the planning and implementation of water quality rehabilitation and protection for watersheds. The analysis contributed to a general theory of how and why community participation can improve the effectiveness of fish habitat protection.
