—and this year it is different. I come from the Gaspé and this is the first year there has been no ice, and it is because of climate change.
As you said, yes, species are endangered. That is the case for capelin, smelt, mackerel, herring and shrimp, and there will be others. The gulf is in a unique situation. We have seen the effects of climate change in Newfoundland and Labrador and in Nova Scotia, where the temperature has risen by 1.7°C or 1.9°C. These changes will mean that the gulf is going to continue to warm.
So I think the important thing is to stay in touch with the people in the fishing industry and find different ways of fishing. Some species are going to disappear and others will reappear, and we will have to know how to manage this. We are in a transition period at present. I think the important thing is to stay in touch with the sector and continue to work together.
