🔴OLD PERLICAN AREA PROPOSED GILLNET EXCLUSION ZONE DISCUSSIONAll harvesters in Old Perlican and surrounding areas are invited to attend an information and discussion session on a proposed exclusion zone for gillnets in a small area of Trinity Bay, near Old Perlican. The meeting will take place on Tuesday April 23, 2024 at 6pm at the Community Center in Old Perlican.

This meeting is to introduce the proposal to the harvesters in the area, with opportunities for feedback and recommendations prior to anything being finalized. Any questions/comments/concerns may be directed to Member Representative Miranda Butler at mbutler@ffaw.ca ... See MoreSee Less
