We have the full complement of the resources required to prosecute, manage, and enforce fisheries. We have a C and P complement across the Arctic that looks after the enforcement side of the house and the management. As well, we have resource management folks on the ground in the western Arctic, stationed out of Yellowknife and Inuvik. We have staff in Iqaluit. We also have science folks in the Arctic—and that's a bit of a coup for us, to have science staff resident in the high Arctic on a regular basis.
One concern expressed to us by our co-management partners is that the government presence has been very nomadic. We come in, do the work, and then we take the stuff and go south. We've been fortunate to have some rock-solid scientist folks agreeing to work in the Arctic for sustained periods of time, which helps build a rapport and a sense of being in a community. It opens up a lot of doors and allows us to marry the core science information with the traditional knowledge.
We have the capacity. Obviously, we'd like to have more, as anybody would say, but we are managing the full set of the fisheries, and in doing that, we're working with the co-management partners. The territorial governments have conservation officers who work very much in partnership with ours.
In fact, just this past February, we had some integrated training for our enforcement teams. It went through use of force, how to gather evidence, the appropriate way to measure narwhal tusks, and all of these things. When we do those joint training operations, it makes us all stronger, and it makes a presence, so we can expand by force. It's the same thing with the way we do our scientific research.
We have numerous examples where Canada partners with the United States or with other international partners to procure ship time and share the resources. Scientists are looking for a platform, and we can do a multitude of research activities, particularly during the daylight part of the year, and run 24-hour operations. The more scientists we can get on, the more we can reduce the costs and expand the scope of the work we're able to do.
There's a lot of leveraging of opportunities. The unique aspect of the fisheries in the Arctic has allowed us to leverage those opportunities that industry, co-management partners, and governments are investing into the research and the science around the fisheries. That's helping us expand our capacity manyfold.
