DFO has announced the
acceptance of a Winter Flounder Tangle
Net fishery proposal from the PEIFA Groundfish
Advisory Board which would amend the
current limited access into 4T2b for Winter

closed zone by a limited number of participants. This fishery will open on Tuesday, September
6th, 2016 at 6AM.
The PEIFA is now taking
names of fixed gear gillnet groundfish license holders who are interested in
participating in this fishery to a maximum of 15 fishers. Otter trawl, handline, and longline hook groundfish
licenses are ineligible. If interest exceeds 15 participants, there will be a
need to have a selection process (i.e. a draw) administered by the PEIFA. The
deadline to sign up for the draw
through the PEIFA is August 15th,
2016. There is no
registration fee, however, fishers will be given a confirmation number at the
time of registering.
