Lax Kw'alaams Commercial Fishermen to receive update on state of season today

The North Coast Fishing Fleet is finding more and more time tied up
this summer as a range of Fishery measures are put in place
owing to poor returns

With DFO announcing a string of closures and other measures on the North Coast fishery in recent weeks, the fishing opportunities seem to be dwindling as disappointing returns have made for some hard decisions to make when it comes to the pre season expectations.

Today, those members of the Lax Kw'alaams Band who fish commercially will have an opportunity to attend an Information session regarding the Skeena Sockeye Closure.

The session is set for 2 PM today at the Lax Kw'alaams Business Development Office at 100 1st Avenue East. And is open to members of the Lax Kw'alaams Band only.

Fisherman from the Band will receive the latest updates on expectations and what measures may be put in place and how it all may impact on the commercial season .
