NEW Economics of Fishing & 2010 Fishing Surveys |
Department of Fisheries and Oceans - 2010 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada
CSIA members are anxiously awaiting the DFO 2012 publication of the results of the 2010 Recreational Fishing (provincial) Survey. This data is analyzed to produce the much anticipated CSIA - Economics of Fishing document.
The survey and the CSIA document help to identify trends in recreational fishery, shape management decisions, protect the resource, and help to assess the importance of fishing and fisheries in Canada.

Our industry generates an annual economy of $7.4 billion dollars - more Canadians fish for recreation than play golf and hockey combined.

Dedicated to preserving Canada's angling heritage ! |
