This after the recent decision on the redfish quota allocation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence of a mere 15 percent of the total allowable catch of 60,000 tonnes to inshore vessels less than 65 feet in length, while nearly 60 percent has been allocated to offshore fleets.
The leader of the opposition is urging government to immediately press the federal government to take decisive action to protect the long-term economic sustainability of our coastal communities. This after the recent decision on the redfish quota allocation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence of a mere 15 percent of the total allowable catch of 60,000 tonnes to inshore vessels less than 65 feet in length, while nearly 60 percent has been allocated to offshore fleets. Tony Wakeham says "It is critical that our coastal communities remain viable which depends on a strong, community-driven fishery that supports coastal communities across the province. Our fishery could easily be a multi-billion-dollar industry with the proper government support." Wakeham says this decision leaves a fleet of boats and numerous coastal communities across the province questioning their future in an industry already struggling to survive."
