About the Registry

The 2019 amended Fisheries Act (FA) contains a provision that will require DFO to have a public facing Registry to provide public access to records relating to fish and fish habitat protection and pollution prevention, including:

• Ministerial agreements
• Standards and Codes of practice
• Ministerial orders
• Fisheries Act Authorizations
• Permits for designated projects
• Fish habitat restoration plans

This work supports the Government’s goals around transparency, access and accountability in federal decision-making.
