A judge ruled that Scott Stanley Matthew Steer and his associated numbered company illegally fished and sold sea cucumbers, violating previous court orders. The offenses occurred between 2019 and 2020, involving unlicensed fishing, selling illegally caught sea cucumbers, and using a vessel to aid in the operation.
A judge has ruled that a Nanaimo man, and an associated numbered company, illegally fished and sold sea cucumbers , defying previous court order s in the process.
According to Crerar's ruling, the offences occurred between 2019 and 2020. In July 2019, Steer bought a 30-foot aluminum fishing boat, the Harbourside Lodge, named after a facility in Bamfield, B.C. In addition, a 38-foot vessel, the Kingfisher MK III, was incorporated to the numbered company and it bought a refrigerator truck and fishing equipment with the aim of an operation that would harvest and sell catch.
Crerar's ruling also stated the catch was sold to Wen Lian Aquaculture in Vancouver, with the numbered company delivering 87,373 pounds from October-December 2019. In addition to fishing equipment, the search of Steer's home also yielded documents and receipts related to boat outfit improvements and items related to commercial fishing.
