Blue Economy Strategy Virtual Engagement Series
From January–March 2022, the National Indigenous Fisheries Institute worked with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to gather Indigenous input that helped shape a more inclusive Blue Economy Strategy.
During January-March, 2022, the National Indigenous Fisheries Institute (NIFI or “the Institute”) collaborated with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) - specifically the Blue Economy Strategy Secretariat (BESS) - to gather Indigenous insights on the emerging Blue Economy Strategy (BES).
A report based on this feedback was prepared to offer additional insight into Indigenous priorities for the Blue Economy, and to support the development of a more inclusive and accessible strategy. Our engagement approach focused on gathering detailed, place-based and community feedback on priorities and initiatives that should be expanded upon in the BES.
