It looks like the Federal Govt. wants to stop all fishing on Constance Bank.

Comment: Anchorages threaten fishing at Constance Bank

The bank forces deep, nutrient rich waters upward, which creates valuable fishing habitat for halibut, salmon, and other species of groundfish.

Don't know if there are other posts on this. If I read this correctly the liberals want to transfer responsibility for the Constance bank anchorage from Transport Canada to the Vancouver Port Authority, which has a ban on all fishing in their big ship anchorages. So if they are able to get away with this, there could be no more fishing permitted in an incredibly important fishing grounds for first nations and Victoria area fisherman.

Typical. The taking the Ports out of Environmental assessments happened during the reign of Harper using omnibus bills. Harper also took the feds out of PNCIMA so that no DFO/fisheries bunch were involved in the development of the MaPP/NSB MPA processes that followed. And we are still dealing with that aftermath. This is yet another example of how ripples in a pond keep on going long after the rock has sunk. Tsunami coming in the aftermath of this term of federal leadership,
