1 Canadian Council of Professional Fish Harvesters Vol. 4, Issue 1 Electronic Newsletter December, 2008 Newfoundland and Labrador: Fish harvesters reach higher certification faster with new training A new training program promises to speed up and simplify fish-harvester training in Newfoundland and Labrador. Within 20 weeks, fish harvesters can earn a Technical Certificate in Harvesting from the Fisheries and Marine Institute, enabling those with enough sea time to reach the top level of the certification system. The certification system provides for a new entrant, designated as an Apprentice Fish Harvester, to advance to Professional Fish Harvester Level I and then Professional Fish Harvester Level II, as he or she accumulates full-time fishing activity and educational credits. After fishing for two full seasons and acquiring 60 education credits, you qualify as a Professional Fish Harvester Level I. It takes three more seasons and 60 more credits to reach Level II, the top category. Only Level II harvesters qualify to receive the transfer of federal Core licences through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Without a designated program, acquiring the education credits required for Level II certification, in many cases, was difficult says Mark Dolomount, Executive Director of the Professional Fish Harvester Certification Board (PFHCB). The new Technical Certificate program is more efficient, dependable, and cost effective. Previously, the Fisheries and Marine Institute offered courses on a demand basis towards Level II. Assessment of prior experience could also provide credits, as could community college courses (for example, in engine repair) or training for Fishing Master Levels 1, 2, or 3. But often, training wasn t readily available, and when it was, it could be costly, Mr. Dolomount says. Now we ll have a complete package of courses available at a much lower price.

2 The Technical Certificate in harvesting is offered over two terms. The fall term includes chartwork and pilotage, navigation safety, general seamanship, simulated electronic navigation, ship construction and stability, radio operator s certificate, Marine Emergency Duties, and First Aid. At this point, fish harvesters are ready to take the Fishing Master 4 exam. The winter term provides technical training in fishing gear construction and repair, managing fishing enterprises, fisheries resource management, handling and holding of fish and shellfish, information systems in fisheries, and mechanical and maintenance skills. Roy Gibbons, Chair of Harvesting Programs at the Fisheries and Marine Institute, points out benefits of the new certificate. First, the courses are now organized in a convenient package. Second, the cost is affordable at $690 per term. Third, experienced instructors and harvesters are providing the training. Most of our instructors have fishing experience, and that adds a mentoring aspect. Prior to the introduction of the new certificate, the Institute had provided fisheries training on a cost-recovery basis. Now, with assistance from the provincial government, fish harvesters get the benefit of educational subsidies that apply to other students. The Marine Institute piloted the new approach last year at its St. John s campus. This year, they expect a dozen fishermen will enroll in each of the two terms and hope to increase enrolment as the program takes hold. The Institute will also continue to offer Level I and related training in communities around the province. The Certificate program may also be offered locally in future.

3 Newfoundland s certification system and how it grew Run a grocery store, you re a respected businessman. Run a boat, with skills in gear technology, navigation, resource management, mechanics, financial matters, and dealing with buyers and government agencies, and you re just a fisherman. At least, that was the traditional pattern. Today, recognition of fish harvesters as well-qualified professionals is increasing, with Newfoundland and Labrador in the forefront. In the early 1990s, the Fish Food and Allied Workers Union consulted fishermen around the province and got government support for professional recognition of fishermen. Legislation in 1996 set up the province s Professional Fish Harvester Certification Board (PFHCB). Experienced fishermen got automatic recognition as professional fish harvesters at the highest level - Level II. But new entrants (Apprentices) now needed to climb the ladder, through a combination of training and sea time. (One rule applies throughout: only those dependent on the fishery for their main income during the fishing season can qualify as Professional Fish Harvesters.) A Board of Directors representing the fishing industry, educators, and federal and provincial agencies oversees the PFHCB. The staff of four keeps track of everyone s training, imparts the certification criteria, and generally promotes and encourages the skills, knowledge, and recognition of fish harvesters. The Board also provides training directly. Both the PFHCB and the Fisheries and Marine Institute provide Marine Emergency Duties (MED) at various locations. The Fisheries and Marine Institute gives all Fishing Master and Small Vessel Operator Proficiency (SVOP) training, as well as the Level II training described above. But fish harvesters can also get relevant training from community colleges or other sources. We ve also made good use of Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR), says Mark Dolomount of the PFHCB. We trained twelve PLAR assessors fish harvesters themselves to evaluate others in their communities for ten different skill sets. That enables Apprentice and Level I harvesters to get formal credit for their informal hands-on learning, and helps a lot of people upgrade their certification. The training numbers are impressive in Newfoundland and Labrador, which has about 13,000 fish harvesters, the most of any region. The PFHCB alone has given MED training to more than 8,000 people since 2002, and the Fisheries and Marine Institute has instructed several thousand more in various courses. Every year, 50 to 100 fish harvesters advance to Level I or Level II. About 4,000 core enterprises operate in the province, and there s currently no shortage of trained people to take them over as opportunities arise, Mark Dolomount says. As for crew and many people just want to go as crew the training and certification system provides a stable pool of qualified crew members. However, finding certified crew members is becoming an increasingly difficult task for many vessel owners. The problem is being further complicated by new, more onerous, crew certification and training requirements by Transport Canada. In the end, one thing is certain. The increase in fisheries-related training will result in a more stable, qualified, safe, and respected fisheries labour force. That, says Mark Dolomount, is what professionalization is all about. 3

4 Fisheries training at heart of Marine Institute Located in St. John s, NL, the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland provides education and training for the fishery and the marine transportation and oceans sector. We are widely recognized as the Marine Institute, says Roy Gibbons, an active figure in fish-harvester training in Newfoundland and Labrador. But we are also sure to share our expertise in the fishing industry through our training and facilities. Gibbons points to two new programs introduced by the Institute in the last year as examples of increased educational opportunities for fish harvesters. The Institute s Bachelor of Maritime Studies program now takes applicants who hold a Fishing Master Class I credential, opening the degree to professional fish harvesters. Resources The program consists of 39 credit hours and can be completed on a full or part-time basis. Students can attend classes on campus and through Internet-based distance delivery. Fulltime students can complete the program in one academic year. Courses include business, economics, and ship management, and the Institute anticipates adding fishery-related courses to the curriculum. The Institute has also launched its 20-week Technical Certificate in Harvesting, which enables fish harvesters to satisfy the regulatory requirements for Fishing Master 4 along with requirements of the Level II designation set by the Professional Fish Harvesters Certification Board. The School of Fisheries, headed by Dave Bonnell, leads the Institute s development and delivery of fisheries training and applied research initiatives. Collaboration takes place with the Professional Fish Harvesters Certification Board and the fishing industry. Each year, the school gears up to provide training for fish harvesters on its campus and in local communities scattered throughout the province. The mainstays of training include Marine Emergency Duties and Fishing Master courses. From time to time, the Institute will also mount special courses as needed; for example, in the shrimp fishery. Gibbons is joined in the classroom by instructors Joy Blundon, Ron Hyde, Noel Milley, Jack Greenham, and Roger Bass. Beverly Fleet supports the team by developing and updating curriculum. The Institute also hires expert fish harvesters as part-time instructors. The Institute boasts excellent facilities for applied research and testing for the fishing sector. The Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Resources (C-SAR) features the world s largest flume tank for testing trawls, and offers fishinggear research and technology transfer. The Centre for Aquaculture and Seafood Development (C-ASD) offers research and training in seafood processing and aquaculture, and operates two food pilot-plant facilities. The Institute has almost 1,000 full-time students, and also trained more than 10,000 marine and fishery clients in Trying out trawls at the world s largest flume tank. (Photo: Marine Institute) 4

5 Aboriginal fish harvesters: foreseeing future needs Native fish harvesters from Pacific to Atlantic want to build up their skills and capability in the commercial fishery, through training and possibly a pan-canadian human-resources approach. That s according to a sampling of opinion for the CCPFH s comprehensive study, Assessing the Skills Needs of Aboriginal Fish Harvesters in Canada, prepared by GTA Fisheries Consultants. This study brings together relevant information in a new and useful way, says Council executive director John Sutcliffe, and we re hoping it ll generate new progress. Gatherings of Native representatives in different regions of the country identified many issues. Some highlights: - In British Columbia, which has strong Native participation but where the commercial fishery shrank in the 1990 s, a report for the Native Fishing Association has already outlined educational needs. Focus-group participants wanted more collaboration with Aboriginal fish harvesters in central and eastern Canada. - Among issues identified in the Central and Arctic region, fish harvesters suggested a Fishing 101 course, and more business-management training. - On the Atlantic, where Native participation increased after the Supreme Court s 1999 Marshall Decision, focusgroup participants made it clear that they still needed to build their capability for the different aspects of fishing. They also expressed interest in having a pan-canadian group of Aboriginal fish harvesters. - The desire for more inter-regional contact was a common thread in all areas. Native representatives also expressed a need for more training, and noted the absence of a forum to discuss and plan training. The report concludes that there are common needs across the country, and there should be a common strategy. Besides regional opinions, the report presents a wide-ranging factual survey of the national picture, beginning with profiles of Aboriginal fisheries and fish harvesters across the country. It covers organizational structures and human-resource programming in all regions, outlining gaps and needs. The conclusions and recommendations stress that Aboriginal and Métis representatives themselves should make the decisions on any process towards developing a pan-canadian strategy. The study suggests a national conference to start matters off, followed by other steps to work out a fullfledged approach to human-resource development. What happens next will depend on future discussions. Annexes to the study outline fisheries training institutions, other available resources, and Aboriginal fish-harvester organizations across the country. Human Resources and Social Development Canada funded the 65-page study. The main report and associated regional reports will appear on the Council website in the future. 5

6 On the Atlantic, many Native vessels now take crab. (Photo: DFO) Look for our next newsletter to be published in February 2009! Harvester-scientist workshop develops new research proposals In an unusual collaboration, university scientists huddled together with fish harvesters and government scientists (more than 40 people in all) for two days in late August to work out research priorities for owner-operator fleets. The workshop at DFO s Gulf Fisheries Centre in Moncton focussed on research needed to improve lobster-resource management and to find simple ways fish harvesters could improve the energy efficiency of their vessels. The gathering was a joint effort of the Canadian Council of Professional Fish Harvesters and the Ocean Management Research Network. OMRN encourages and co-ordinates university research, particularly in the social sciences, on ocean and coastal matters. Funding came from the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), which supports Canadian industries through university science and technology research. In the February 2008 federal budget, NSERC received $34 million to fund industry-driven research in the automotive, manufacturing, forestry, and fisheries sectors, of which about $4 million was set aside for research in the aquaculture and wild-capture fishing industries. The workshop brought participants together to develop research proposals for the new fund by the October 1 deadline. Establishing relationships with academic researchers is critical, because all NSERC research projects must be overseen by university-based researchers. Jim Jones, the Gulf Region s Director General, noted in opening remarks that these kinds of relationships were long overdue. Despite the fishing industry s long, uninterrupted history of producing wealth for the country, it still did not get much attention from Canada s universities. (Continued on page 8) 6

8 This theme was picked up at different times during the workshop. Both industry representatives and scientists supported the notion of establishing a network that would bring fishing industry representatives and university and government scientists together on an on-going basis. Lobster harvesters were particularly interested in research on the impacts and effectiveness of conservation measures and fishing practices including comparative analysis of DFO and industryinitiated measures and new experimental approaches such as releasing stage IV larvae (seeding). Other priority projects were: research on the toxicity to lobster larvae of common chemicals released into the marine environment; research on larval production/drift and lobster movements between management areas; lobster growth and dietary requirements; and research on the socio-economic impacts of the lobster industry (NSERC criteria allow for up to 30 per cent of project funding on socio-economic questions). On energy efficiency, participants identified several projects: energy audits for the existing Newfoundland and Labrador inshore fishery and the Maritime lobster fleets, including comparative carbon footprint analysis; modelling and analysis of different vessel designs, including bulbous bow design; alternative energy use and generation, and development of new technologies for fishing biofuels, fuel cells, diesel-electric (hybrid), wind generation and turbines. New Brunswick and Quebec participants proposed a joint effort for shrimp fleets to model and field test the energy impacts of alternative gear, including topless trawls and other options. A multidimensional analysis of fishery systems with application to Maritimes and Gulf herring/lobster fisheries was also proposed. Participating academics came from the University of New Brunswick, the University of PEI s Lobster Science Centre, Cape Breton University, St. Francis Xavier University, Dalhousie Tech, the Université de Moncton s Coastal Zone Research Institute, Memorial University s Marine Institute, the University of Ottawa, and Halieutec, the research arm of the Quebec Fisheries School. Ronnie Heighton, Vice President of the Canadian Council of Professional Fish Harvesters, thanked the DFO for hosting the event, NSERC for funding it, and all participants for their participation on short notice and the spirit of collaboration and partnership they showed.
