A Multi year waiver is now in the mail to all HFA 16G herring license holders for the HFA 16G overage program.

The multi-year waiver that has been requested by fish harvesters at the 2011 Annual General HFA 16G Herring meeting at Poole’s Corner, PE on December 9th, 2011.

The current program was established in 2011 and resulted in 100% success and compliance. The HFA 16G Herring Advisory Board received positive feedback on the program and thus the continuation of the program for 2012 and beyond.
