REMINDER – 3Ps Snow Crab Season Closure For CFA 11

DFO reminds harvesters that the 3Ps Snow Crab fishery will close for CFA 11E (including the area known as Bob’s Rock) and 11W on Monday, July 7, 2025 at 2000 hours.

All gear must be removed from the water by closing time. The Department prioritizes safety at sea and 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.
