Good afternoon. My name is Robert Haché and I am speaking on behalf of the Association des crabiers acadiens, an organization of 44 midshore fishing companies that receive 61% of the traditional crab allocations held in New Brunswick.
The map you see on the monitor represents fishing area 12. The numerous rectangles that cover the area each measure 14 kilometres by 21 kilometres.
