I don't see how it's going to provide year-round employment. The cod fishery for the inshore started in July and the TAC was taken by the end of September, and it was reopened a bit more for October. Now that we see there are offshore interest groups that are going.... The department just made the announcement that it opened on November 3 and the fishery will be open until April 25. It gives them the opportunity to fish all through the winter, but they don't have enough quota to fish all through the winter at this stage, so I don't see how it's going to provide year-round employment.
On November 4th, 2024. See this statement in context.
