2018 Commercial Intertidal Clam (Z2) and Communal Commercial Clam by Hand 
Digging (Z2ACL) licence issuance is available via the National Online Licensing 
System (NOLS) at 
https://fishing-peche.dfo-mpo.gc.ca 

All harvesters are required to pay their 2018 Clam licence fees through the 
NOLS by December 31, 2018 or the eligibility will cease.

Harvesters will use the National Online Licensing System (NOLS) to go online to 
view, pay for and print their commercial fishing licences, conditions of 
licence, and/or receipts.
Upon the Department receiving the required payment the licence will be issued 
and notification will be sent via email to advise licence holders/vessel owners 
that a change has been made to the licence holder's online account.  The 
licence documents, conditions of licence and receipt will be available to be 
printed at that time.
