The Case of Eco-Certification in Manitoba’s Commercial Fisheries: Path forward for Manitoba fishers
This report examines the commercial freshwater fishing industry in Manitoba, highlighting that 85% of its 2,000 licensed harvesters are Indigenous. It argues that eco-certification is critical for maintaining international market access, as some major US retailers have already stopped purchasing non-certified Manitoba fish. The report provides a cost-benefit analysis, noting that for large lakes, benefits are estimated at $250 for every $1 invested over five years, and recommends increased government funding and staffing to support the certification process.
