The following posters have been posted throughout the LFA 27 at various ports and buying stations. The posters encourage members of the LFA 27 to contact the port reps, lobster technicians, or project coordinator with the information of the tagged lobster.
In addition to the posters, data sheets and rulers have been printed on waterproof paper and distributed to various port reps. Both the poster and the data sheets/rulers have been attached to this post. If you have any questions regarding the 2013 tagging study, please contact Veronika Brzeski at lfa27board@gmail.com.  |

Another cut to the department. Issuing gear tags are to be contracted out. Who will issue them? So far no criteria for tags providers have been set (other than it has be an incorporated body). We are expecting more news by the end of September. Then whoever takes on the task will have to prepare a proposal to DFO, wait for approval and then scramble to be ready for May! |

The LFA 27 Management Board was established by a group of dedicated
lobster fishermen in response to problems in the lobster fishery. They
were spurred on by a DFO announcement of available funding to implement
sustainability plans in management of the lobster fishery. Many of the
members of the Board are port representatives on the LFA 27 Lobster
Advisory Board. With the support of some local fishing organizations and
funding from the provincial Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture and
ECBC, the Board has hired a project manager, Veronika Brzeski.
The LFA 27 Management Board needs to hear from ALL fishermen! The
lobster fishery has experienced a serious economic downturn and we need
to put our heads together and find some solutions. How can we make the
fishery more sustainable? How can we maintain a good living from our
licenses?
