LOBSTER NODE PROJECT UPDATES:
The Lobster Node is a subsection of the Canadian Fisheries Research Network. The PEI Fishermen's Association attends the Annual General Meeting of the Lobster Node.
This is the 4th year of funding for the projects and results are beginning to surface. The AGM in Halifax produced new research initiatives which the PEIFA may look to actively support including research on lobster genomics and traceability.
