e-4781 (Fisheries)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- The recreational cod season in the last several years has provided for 39 days on which cod fish could be retained by recreational fishers and tourism operators in Newfoundland and Labrador;
- Northern cod has recently been deemed to be a recovering stock and is no longer assessed to be in the critical zone and commercial catch rates are many times higher than historically;
- Providing three days per week in summer and ten days in the fall creates an urgency amongst participants to go fishing when the weather causes safety and access issues; and
- The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has delayed the announcement of the recreational cod fishery dates and regulations, until late June, in recent years, thereby disadvantaging fishers and tourists in scheduling their vacations to participate in such fishery.
