ANGLERS GATHER AT VICTORIA INNER HARBOUR TO PROTEST
May 8, 2009
AT LEAST 100 BOATS GATHERED THIS MORNING AT THE INNER HARBOUR TO PROTEST THE CUT TO HALIBUT ANGLING LIMITS....
THEY WANT A PORTION OF THE ALLOCATION OF HALIBUT TO BE GIVEN BACK TO THE PUBLIC.
IT WAS DIRECTED TOWARDS FEDERAL FISHERIES MINISTER GAIL SHAE AS SHE HAS AUTHORIZED SLASHING THE DAILY CATCHING LIMIT OF HALIBUT.
CHRIS BOS WITH THE COALITION STEERING COMMITTEE SAYS LOCAL ANGLERS ARE REALLY TICKED OFF.
"the public...like you and myself are not able to go out and catch fish as we have done historically over a long established fishery that we've had on the west coast for halibut."
HE SAYS CURRENTLY 400 COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN HAVE THE OWNERSHIP OF 90 PERCENT OF CANADA'S HALIBUT.
THEY HOPE TO RESOLVE THE CONFLICT WITH SHAE COMING TO A REASONABLE SOLUTION FOR BOTH SIDES.
