The participation rate was quite good. We had 10 fish harvesters who took advantage of our lending program. They were the ones who were the most put out because of the closures and most immediately needed access to this gear to allow them to keep fishing in those closed areas.
We probably could have outfitted more, but we didn't have enough gear at the time. We've since been able to expand the inventory. Our hope is that if there is another opportunity in the future, we'll be able to support more fish harvesters to give them the tools they need to keep fishing safely around whales.
