Fall Period Conditions of Licence for the inshore Northern cod fishery in 3KL

A number of 3KL-based inshore Northern cod harvesters may have received a duplicate set of Summer period licence conditions following the release of Fall period licence conditions via the National Online Licensing System (NOLS).

Please be advised that the conditions for the Fall period opening on September 15, released on September 11, remain valid. All harvesters fishing in the Fall period are to ensure they are fishing under conditions that are valid for the Fall period and that these conditions are printed and onboard the vessel. Fall conditions will not be reissued.

“Notices to Fish Harvesters” for all commercial fisheries are now available online under the Fishery Notices link on the DFO NL Region webpage at https://www.nfl.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/en

If you would like to have all “Notices to Fish Harvesters” or “Notices to the Public” sent directly to you by email please contact Miranda.Pryor@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
