The Torngat Wildlife, Plants and Fisheries Secretariat is working to conserve and restore coastal and marine habitat in Nunatsiavut.
We are requesting proposals from Beneficiaries to search coastal areas around communities and clean up any lost, abandoned, or discarded fishing gear.
Successful applicants will be expected to:
• Supply boat, motor, and any necessary equipment
• Record search route with GPS and provide track to the Torngat Secretariat
• Take photographs and GPS coordinates of marine waste
• Where it can be safely accomplished, remove retrieved gear for disposal
The Torngat Secretariat will select one proposal from each community based on the details provided, and will compensate at a rate of $1,500 a day for up to six days.
Please email proposals by Friday, September 16, 2022.
Please include in your proposal the size and type of boat and motor, name(s) of applicants, proposed time period and search area, and commitment to comply with best safety practices and all laws and regulations.
For more information or to submit your proposals, you can contact Aaron Dale at 709-896-6780 or by email at aaron.dale@torngatsecretariat.ca.
