2J3KLPs Bait Fishery Management Measures

DFO would like to remind harvesters of the management measure announced last year in 2015-2016 2J3KLPs Herring Integrated Fisheries Management Plan.

Effective in 2016, all harvesters in the Newfoundland and Labrador Region are required to set bait nets parallel to the shore. Fishers are encouraged to review their 2016 bait conditions.

Further details on the management measures can be found at: www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/decisions/fm-2015-gp/atl-006-eng.htm
