Posted: May 27, 2024 2:41 pmInuit inshore harvesters of northern Labrador have scheduled a protest for Tuesday morning, May 28th, at 8 a.m. outside all Nunatsiavut Government buildings in the province.
In past years the Nunatsiavut government has distributed its annual federal allocation of shrimp off northern Labrador to more than 20 inshore harvesters or designates. This year, however, seven Inuit harvesters say the Nunatsiavut government has denied them a 2024 share of northern shrimp quota in favour of an Inuit designate with a factory-freezer trawler, displacing as many as 40 inshore harvesters along the north Labrador coast.
Beneficiary vessel owners residing within the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area receive priority under the Nunatsiavut Government’s Commercial Fishery Designation Policy. Beneficiary vessel owners residing outside of LISA would receive less priority under the policy.
