The Fish and Wildlife Branch (FWB) is implementing a data sharing policy to guide how ecological data is accepted from third parties, manage ecological data that have restrictions on the way they may be used, and share ecological data with others.

FWB is committed to sharing ecological data as openly as possible, while ensuring that sharing this data does not negatively impact series and ecosystems, as well as the way to manage a sustainable harvest and the working relationship with others. This policy is needed to ensure that sharing of ecological data is consistent and transparent and the reasons why an informal data request may be denied.
