Individuals who believe they have witnessed an infraction to the Marine Mammal Regulations should bring any relevant information to the attention of their local Fisheries and Oceans Canada office. Alleged infractions are taken very seriously and investigated by DFO officers. The consequences of a violation to the Regulations can include court-imposed fines, and forfeiting of catches, gear, vessels and licenses.
