A partnership for
Sustainable and responsible fishing
Ungava Bay is entirely within Inuit land claims and Makivvik Corporation (representing the Inuit of Northern Quebec) is the largest quota holder in this area.
In partnership with Newfoundland Resources Ltd based in Newfoundland, Makivvik responsibly harvests this emerging sweet-tasting species, which is rapidly gaining popularity with consumers around the world.
An eco-responsible vessel and sustainable practices
Our commitment to sustainable fishing is reflected in our choice of fishing partner, who uses a state-of-the-art vessel designed to minimize its impact on the marine ecosystem. This ultramodern vessel has been built to the strict standards of CLEAN classification, which guarantees a reduction in air emissions, no discharge into the sea and minimal waste generated during deliveries. It is Canada’s first “green” fishing boat, a recognition of its commitment to preserving marine resources.
In addition to using an eco-responsible vessel, our fishing partner adheres to sustainable fishing practices that ensure the sustainability of Northern shrimp stocks. This includes selective fishing techniques that minimize bycatch and respecting fishing quotas established by Canadian authorities.
