Fishery Notice

The first round of licence area selection for the next two red sea urchin seasons (August 1, 2020 to July 31, 2022) is complete.  9 area selection forms were submitted 
to the department prior to the April 17, 2020 deadline.  9 of the forms submitted selected the south coast licence area.  An additional 24 licences were placed in the 
south coast licence area by default.  These were licences that were eligible for the south coast in the last season, and did not submit a new selection form for the 
2020 to 2022 area selection process.  None of the forms submitted selected the north coast licence area. 77 licences were placed in the north coast licence area by 
default. 
After the first round, a total of 33 licences are currently designated to the south coast licence area.  77 licence tabs are designated to the north coast licence 
area.  With this licence distribution the south coast individual quota will equal approximately 64,303 lb.  The north coast individual quota will equal approximately 
107,285 lb. The Total Allowable Catch and Area Quotas are not yet finalized.

eligibility holder wishing to change areas must submit their fully completed second round area selection form to the department prior to April 28, 2020.  Any forms

the licence tab will remain designated to the licence area it was placed in following the first round of selection.

The second round selection form is the last opportunity licence eligibility holders have to change licence areas for the next two seasons (August 1, 2020 to July 31, 
2022).
