That one at the top of the list is a hell of a good sign!

Mind you....their names appear a few times on the list.

Looks like a bit of a family clamming outing didn't finish too well on July 7th.

A lot of the same ethnicity!!!! The fines for these people who are obviously involved in the black market are nothing but a slap on the wrist. The amount they are making more than covers the fine!!!!!

Sadly, there's so little chance of getting caught that it's turned into a big money business with black market shellfish sales.

ever see them " grid " a beach? Sectioning off the beach using rope and twine in a grid pattern to make sure not one clam escapes. Never seen that before.

Nothing new though RB. I saw the same thing on Quadra 30 years ago. Sell everything that was legal, eat everything that wasn't.

We had fisheries C.O. approach us while clam digging today.
a quick check of license's was all she wanted.
watched them speak to a few others and fully expected a road check but
they had moved on.

Habitat destruction in the Charlottes? One of those companies owns WCR I believe. What is up with that?!

Ummmm-- No-- they dont make the laws.... Federal Justice Dept puts them together and the local Crown Prosecutor decides which case goes forward.
