Fishery Notice

Environment Canada has advised that the emergency sanitary closure 23.ee in 
Ucluelet Harbour, enacted on October 31, 2016 as a result of a bypass permit 
that was granted by the Ministry of Environment, and Environment and Climate 
Change Canada, allowing discharge of raw sewage from the outfall of the 
Ucluelet sewage lagoons while lagoon liners were being replaced, is no longer 
necessary. Therefore, emergency closure 23.ee for bivalve shellfish, as 
described below, is now revoked
