	Fisheries and Oceans Canada Summary
		The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), also referred to as Fisheries and Oceans Canada (Pêches et Océans Canada), is the department within the government of Canada with responsibility for the management and safety of waters under federal jurisdiction.
		The department mandate is largely focused on the conservation and alottment of quotas for salt water fisheries on the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic coasts of Canada.
		Whereas fisheries management wasn't as important as it became in the latter part of the 20th century, a major responsibility for the Deparment of Marine and Fisheries included the provisioning of rescue stations and facilities at the notorious shipwreck sites of Sable Island and St.

	Case studies on the allocation of transferable quota rights in fisheries
		Landings statistics were collected by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans through the use of daily hails of fishing activities and logbooks compiled and submitted by the licence holders, with these records being verified and retained by the Department.
		The fishery was influenced by the collapse of the Alaskan crab fisheries and the resulting demand for crabmeat from the Eastern Canadian fishery.
		In the event of the collapse of the ITQ programme, the fishery could revert to a competitive fishery in which case the companies or their replacements would be entitled to return to the number of licences held in 1986, prior to implementation of the experimental programme.

	Business Process Management Solution Improves Constituent Service, Reduces Workload and Cycle Times by 40 Percent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		DFO is the department responsible for protecting and maintaining the productivity of Canada's marine and freshwater resources, ensuring public safety and efficient vessel traffic, and generating the knowledge that policymakers need to make informed decisions.
		DFO chose BizFlow because of its ability to track and route correspondence to the correct department based on business rules that determine which resource is best qualified to handle a particular issue or topic.
		DFO wanted to streamline and improve the process so that correspondences would be automatically delivered to service representatives, drastically reducing cycle times, eliminating lost correspondences, and improving service to both citizens and policymakers.

		DFO's fleet is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, covers the world's longest coastline and largest territorial waters, and supports activities as diverse as search and rescue, icebreaking, pollution prevention and response, fisheries enforcement, and scientific research.
		DFO also must ensure that it is in compliance with international agreements and consider the impact of its activities on the international community.
		Fisheries resources inhabit both national and international waters, and the Government of Canada is committed to protecting and conserving the sustainable harvest of fisheries resources around the world.

	Case studies of the management of elasmobranch fisheries
		In contrast, the foreign directed fishery for skate (as indicated by enforcement inspections, area circled in Figure 4a) took place on the tail of the bank in the last half of the year when skate were concentrated up on the bank.
		The DFO is attempting to manage this resource in a conservative and sustainable fashion but it is clear that they do not have the baseline information necessary to determine whether this is being accomplished.
		Fishery officers (employees of Fisheries and Oceans) have the authority to charge vessels and their crew under the Fisheries Act.
