UPDATE #2: LFA 26A1 (PEI & NS) (10AM, April 23rd)

 

Department of Fisheries & Oceans (DFO) has confirmed the opening of the LFA 26A1 (PEI & NS) spring lobster season for 6AM, Friday, April 25th.  A second DFO conference call was held this morning with Environment Canada & Climate Change as well as fishing industry reps to confirm the forecast for Friday in this area and the opening. We can expect a DFO Notice to Fishers for LFA 26A1 confirming this information shortly.  We’d like to wish our Captains and crew in LFA 26A1 a safe setting day and a prosperous fishing season for all.
