Maybe y'all can help me out a bit here. I was looking over the shellfish harvesting regs for area 17 { Nanaimo}. Am I reading the regs wrong or what?? It appears that every bit of accessible locations in this area are off limits to pick oysters- worse still, again if I am reading it right, its closed all year long.
I checked the biotoxin closures and they are lifted for many areas, but then, "emergency contamination closures" are in effect.
Is this what you get from reading the regs? It seems the regs are too convoluted to make much sense- why lift one ban then throw another on top as oppossed to just closing an area then showing why. Lifting one then enacting another { on a seperate page } makes it confusing and potentially dangerous if someone did not check for BOTH types of closures.
