Unofficial Draw List - 2019 Halibut Reallocation Draw
September 19th, 2019
A decision on a 2019 PEI halibut
reallocation fishery will be made early next week by the DFO in consultation with
the PEIFA Groundfish Advisory Committee among other important stakeholders. If more than 10% of the quota remains after the
main fishery ends (Friday, September 20th), the current plan is to hold
a reallocation fishery based on the eligible fishers on the draw list. The remaining quota would be redistributed
based on the initial individual catch limit.
In anticipation of a possible
reallocation fishery, below are the first 125 names drawn in the Unofficial 2019
PEI Halibut Reallocation draw. Thank you to Natalie Li with the PEIAGSC
for her assistance with the drawing of the ballots today. All commercial
fishers registered in the main PEI halibut fishery were automatically entered
into the draw.
The draw list will be sent to
Department of Fisheries & Oceans for verification and checked for
eligibility (hail in and hail out in the main fishery). The number of commercial fishers allowed to
participate in the reallocation will be confirmed by DFO early next week after the
main fishery has ended and all the weights have been entered into the DMP/DFO
system. If you would like to know where you placed in the draw, (beyond
the first 125 numbers drawn) please contact the PEIFA office.
The number of eligible commercial
fishers allowed to fish the reallocation is based on remaining quota minus the
eligible commercial communal allotments. The PEIFA will be contacting all eligible
commercial fishers who’ve been chosen in the draw once DFO issues the approved/eligible
list and number of allotments available for commercial fishers. These calls are to ensure eligible fishers
are wanting to participate. If the fisher
declines, we will proceed to the next on the list.
If the reallocation fishery moves
ahead, the PEIFA are anticipating an opening could occur as early as Thursday,
September 26th, 2019. DFO
will be issuing a Notice to Fishers to confirm date when that decision is made. If you have any questions on the
reallocation, please contact Ben Moore, DFO Resource Management at
902-370-7094.
If a reallocation fishery moves ahead for 2019: Here is the Unofficial draw list for 2019 Halibut reallocation draw – the first 125 names drawn are as follows (please note these are subject to DFO verification & reallocation eligibility):
