June 18, 2025
DFO has released the 2025 management plan for Unit 1 redfish. The 2025 plan includes important changes the union request, including depth, gear type, and observer coverage levels. Despite this, quotas still remain well under what the 4R fleet is entitled to as adjacent fish harvesters relying on the Gulf of St. Lawrence fishery. Minister Joanne Thompson has continued to allocate the bulk of the resource to the offshore corporate fleet, who get 58.69% while inshore fleets get less than 25%.
