Thanks for the information, DFO fails to respect what non native harvesters are contributing, by not declaring them as partners in conservation along with the mentioned native groups.
I also feel that the label of sport fishers or recreational fishers softens our culture, and is used against our cause. It is wise to remember our cultural and traditional connection with the land and sea, and tell this story to the general public. Continue the dedicated fight on closures, allotments, etc, but identify us in a more contemporary light. Commercial harvesters too.
Let’s re brand, suggestions??
It would identify our group, and tell what we do.
