    Description

    The purpose of this contract is to maintain a ready team to safely respond to and assist or release entangled or entrapped marine animals in the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Gulf, Quebec and Maritimes Regions.

    It aims to ensure the safe release of whales or small cetaceans from commercial fishing gear, thus providing both a direct mitigation for species currently listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA), and decreasing damage to commercial fishing gear. The program has the added benefit of both improving communications with commercial fishers and the general public regarding marine animal conservation and providing an opportunity to collect data safely, that may contribute to scientific studies, to improve our understanding of these species.

    If the bids from the Indigenous businesses are found to be non-compliant or non-responsive or are withdrawn, such that fewer than two compliant bids from Indigenous businesses remain, bids from all of the non-Indigenous businesses that had submitted bids will then be considered by the contracting authority.
