Engagement Library

Between October 2017 and February 2018, the Institute engaged participants in the Aboriginal Aquatic Resource and Oceans Management program and the Atlantic and Pacific Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiatives. Similar engagement sessions were held between April 2018 and January 2019 with participants in the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy and the Aboriginal Fishery Guardian Program.

​

Engagement sessions were an opportunity to examine issues identified in the discussion papers in more depth. After each session, a ‘What we heard’ report was written and web-posted. All of the input was then assessed to bring forward our initial conclusions to engagement participants in plenaries and to inform our phase one and phase two final reports. ‘What we heard’ during engagement sessions on the co-development of the Northern Integrated Commercial Fisheries Initiative was also used to prepare our final report on this program.
