HALIFAX — A commercial lobster fishing group in southwestern Nova Scotia is seeking a court to have a lobster fishery run by a First Nations community declared illegal.
The United Fisheries Conservation Alliance says it also wants the court to define the scope and limits that should apply to a fishery operated by the Sipekne’katik First Nation in St. Mary’s Bay.
The Sipekne’katik First Nation had gone to court in 2021 to have its lobster fishing rights affirmed. Alliance president Colin Sproul says fishers have no confidence in the federal government to protect the interests of commercial licence holders.
