Thank you.
One of the things we are facing—and we are in a jurisdictional quagmire out here—as far as I understand it is that the seabed is the jurisdiction of the province. The water between the seabed and the surface is the jurisdiction of Fisheries and Oceans, and the surface is the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard. Therefore, when you come in and drop a mooring buoy in a bay, you are, in fact, touching on three different jurisdictions and would require—I would guess, if you did it properly—three licences.
However, people come into any bay, throw something overboard and attach a line to it, and it ends up drifting ashore, sadly.
