FFAW Blames Federal Government for Shortened Cod Fishery Season

The FFAW is calling out the federal government for what it calls the mismanagement of fisheries. The criticism is directed at the northern cod fishery in 3KL.

As a result of the closure, the FFAW says many harvesters found themselves with just a few days of fishing this season.

The lack of quota available for Newfoundland harvesters this fishing season has an impact on the livelihoods of thousands of families who depend on the inshore fishery for their income the unino says.
