Conflict over new Indigenous lobster fishery continues to smoulder amid some progress
That additional ruling remains at the crux of the argument being made by non-Indigenous fishers, who say First Nations must abide by Ottawa’s conservation measures, which include limiting all fishing to regulated seasons.
The Fisheries Department has also struck a number of long-term fishing agreements with some First Nations, said Mike Leonard, director of Indigenous fisheries management in the Maritimes.And in March 2021, Ottawa introduced an “optional path” for First Nations hoping to pursue a moderate livelihood fishery. The department started approving interim plans drafted by each band, but DFO has made it clear that fishing will be limited to the federally regulated seasons.
All of the First Nations in Nova Scotia with interim agreements ignored interview requests. The Kwilmu’kw Maw-klusuaqn organization, which advocates on behalf of the Mi’kmaq in Nova Scotia, also remained mute.
