As it stands, just last year, in tidal waters in British Columbia, the DFO has gone to electronic licensing. Everybody must acquire a licence by electronic means. There are currently no ways to actually have the licence be electronic, to have it on a smartphone or some sort of device. This is not a big deal, but this would be quite helpful for an electronic age.
The tools include making regulations, area information, species identification, ideas about resource management, fisheries notices, and that sort of thing more readily available to recreational anglers and the public generally. The feeling is that you can do that and put this information into the hands of the recreational anglers. They have a greater appreciation and are obviously able to abide by the rules and regulations of the day.
