Whalesafe Gear Adoption Fund Information Session
August 23, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

The WSGF fund consists of $20M in contribution agreement funding over two years (2021-2023) to support projects that advance the adoption of methods to prevent and alleviate whale entanglement. This initiative supports the adoption of existing whalesafe gear, devices, and systems in commercial fisheries and trials and validation of such gear, devices, and systems, to bring them to operational use by 2023 fishing seasons.
DFO will be accepting applications to the fund from August 13, 2021, to September 10th, 2021. The second round of funding will open in December 2021.
