Reminder of inshore Northern cod Authorized Fishing Areas
Effective at 0600 hours on Saturday, October 19, Northern cod inshore harvesters (vessel classes A295, A296, and A292) will be authorized to fish throughout NAFO Divisions 2J3KL as per the CHP.
There is approximately 150 t remaining for 3KL-based harvesters, and 40 t remaining for 2J-based harvesters. The fishery will be closely monitored to ensure the total harvest remains within the inshore fleet allocations, and a closure may occur with limited notice.
The Department prioritizes safety at sea. If a harvester is unable to retrieve their gear by the close time due to safety, they are advised to contact their local C&P detachment.
The Regional Director General, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador Region gives notice that Variation Order 2024-276 has been revoked and Variation Order 2024-280 comes into effect on October 19, 2024.
