June 6, 2025 - Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) would like to remind fish harvesters to ensure the removal of all set fishing gear from the water when done fishing, and to report all lost fishing gear as outlined in commercial fishing licence conditions.
Fish harvesters can easily access and submit the required lost or retrieved gear reporting forms simply and efficiently. This reporting helps DFO to locate and remove lost gear from our waters and, where possible, return the gear to its rightful owner.
You can choose to use any of the following available reporting tools:
Fishing Gear Reporting System (FGRS)
Electronic Logbook (ELOG): Complete the section reserved for that.
