In Newfoundland and Labrador, the offshore oil and gas industry engages a Fisheries Liaison Officer during certain marine operations as a practice of mitigation for the fishing and petroleum industries. Stationed on board the operation vessel, the Fisheries Liaison Officer communicates details of the marine operation with fish harvesters and gains insight on project area fishing activity. Inter-industry information exchange mitigates potential at-sea conflicts such as entanglement or gear damage. This video describes the Fisheries Liaison Officer program, highlighting the importance of Fisheries Liaison Officer participation and the benefits to both industries.
