IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Fish Safe NS is asking for fish harvesters to share their thoughts on how existing PFDs can be improved, or what you would like to see added or changed to future PFD products. The survey results will be shared with all PFD manufacturers along with Transport Canada. Fish Safe NS will use the information collected to advocate for improvements to currently available PFDs, future PFDs, and regulations that govern their manufacturing.
 
To ensure this survey is accurate we ask that only fish harvesters from Atlantic Canada participate. (NS, NB, PEI, NL).

This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please respond to all questions accurately!
