Fishery Notice

The commercial Intertidal clam fishery in clam management area G, areas 12-6, 
12-26 and 12-17 which opened on January 2nd, 2015 variation order number 2015-7 
is revoked, these subareas closed due to deviance from the sampling 
requirements established under the biotoxin monitoring program. Any clams 
harvested since January 2nd, 2015 will need to be returned to the beach as the 
biotoxin closure supersedes the commercial fishery opening.

Information on the specific contamination closure areas can be obtained at our 
website address:

For additional information fishers should consult the 2013/2015 Intertidal Clam 
Integrated Fishery Management Plan, 2015 Commercial Harvest Plan, and the local 
DFO office for the specific closure area descriptions, sewage contamination 
closures, and detailed fishing plan,
