Description
Implement a series of COVID-19-related measures in order to maintain as many fishery-sector jobs amongst its four 100% Inuit-owned member companies. NFA will provide PPE, cover the cost of protocol development and risk analysis, reimburse plant/vessel modifications to ensure social distancing barriers and other related risk-reductions and port landing surcharges and cover other additional travel-related costs incurred as a direct result of the COVID-19 restrictions in Canada and Greenland. NFA will also address the marketing and branding needs for the Nunavut P. montagui shrimp species in actual and potential new markets.
Description (French)
Mettre en œuvre une série de mesures liées à la COVID-19 afin de maintenir autant d’emplois dans le secteur de la pêche parmi ses quatre entreprises membres détenues à 100 % par des Inuits. La NFA fournira les EPI, couvrira le coût de l’élaboration des protocoles et de l’analyse des risques, remboursera les frais des modifications apportées aux installations et aux navires pour garantir le maintien de l’éloignement social et les frais associés à d’autres réductions de risques connexes, ainsi que les surtaxes de débarquement dans les ports, en plus de rembourser les autres coûts supplémentaires directement liés aux restrictions sur les voyages en raison de la COVID-19 au Canada et au Groenland. La NFA prendra également des mesures pour répondre aux besoins en matière de marketing et d’image de marque pour l’espèce de crevette P. montagui du Nunavut sur les marchés actuels et les nouveaux marchés potentiels.
Expected Results
Adaption to Covid-19 restrictions is necessary to maintain the 150-200 Inuit-held jobs and to ensure proper health and safety measures are in place and followed rigorously. A branding and promotional campaign will be designed and launched to promote sales demand for Nunavut shrimp during the ongoing pandemic.
