***FREE*** 2018 PEI Lobster Quality and Handling Workshops:

The Prince Edward Island Fishermen’s Association’s marine biologist, Melanie Giffin, will be
offering 4 FREE lobster quality and handling workshops in March for LFAs 24 and 26A and 1
in June for LFA 25.

EACH SESSION WILL INCLUDE A $500 DOOR PRIZE, AS WELL AS A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION FROM
THE PEIFA.

These workshops are FREE and open to ANYONE who handles lobster: harvesters, deckhands, buyers,
plant employees, etc.
If you have your deckhands hired already this is a prime opportunity to add to their knowledge base
prior to starting work on your vessel.
Topics that will be discussed include lobster biology and anatomy, proper handling techniques to reduce
stress and therefore mortality, and how to determine the quality of your lobster.
