This acoustic would be completed during the weekend bait/commercial closures when nets are out of the water.  This is the first year for the Skinner’s Pond/Tignish site and may take one or two nights of soundings, this is a trial year in many ways.  See more details below.  In terms of payment, the price would be associated with completed strata (box), similar to that of the fall herring acoustics, contact Laura Ramsay for more details.
