Fish harvesters equipment decimated on southwest coast

Fish harvesters on the southwest coast are left reeling after post-tropical storm Fiona made landfall in the area according to the FFAW.

The damage has impacted multiple enterprises, leaving significant damage to gear, boats, motors, and sheds.

At this time the FFAW is seeking financial support from federal and provincial governments to assist these inshore harvesters in their rebuilding efforts.

Those between La Poile and Port aux Basques have been hit the hardest.
