Sea Cucumber Permit Draw

MESSAGE FROM DFO:

Sooley & White an independent firm conducted the Sea cucumber temporary permit draw this morning. Attached is a list of names in the order they were drawn.

There are instances where there are duplicate names (with different initials). Those fish harvesters will need to contact a DFO office to confirm by Fisher Identification Number (FIN) which place they ranked.

Letters of offers will be sent to the successful fish harvesters.  We are now in the process of developing the Conservation Harvesting Plan (CHP).  The Fisheries Management Decision will be posted online after the CHP is finalized.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
