Canada today has been experiencing escalation deaths of species. A study was found by the Canadian marine biologist that most of these endangered species do not receive protection from the federal government despite policies and legal requirements.
A marine biologist from the University of Victoria named Dr. Julia Baum together with her co-researchers found out that the management plans of the Special at Risk Act, and Fisheries & Oceans Canada's management were not working due to some political indifferences that caused most of the species unprotected.
Other than that, the response of the government takes years of delays before they would act and protect these species under a law. The protection was denied, especially if the government has a commercial interest in the species.
Continues denial of protection upon these rare species will lead to progressive deaths and a mass extinction due to the relation of plants and animals, thus creating disturbance in their habitat that affects the global destruction of fisheries and future medicines.
Business centre industries in Canada and the world depend on the marine and wildlife therefor usher consequences on human health and welfare of the Canadians if not resolved.
Today, the federal government of Canada continues with their plans and programs to address the issue.
As what Dr. Julia stresses that "even though the endangered species were designated for protection, still the required conservation plans were not being made or implemented."
The study, "Missing the safety net: evidence for inconsistent and insufficient management of at-risk marine fishes in Canada", examined the policies concerning endangered species such as Atlantic cod, cusk, porbeagle shark, bluefin tuna, sockeye salmon, among others.
The said endangered species are deemed at risk due to low population levels, mostly as a result of to overfishing. Many of these marine fishes are harvested commercially, according to a statement.
