The Mi’kmaw lobster fishery in Nova Scotia has commercial operators concerned about the species, but the director of Saint Mary’s University’s School of the Environment says the Indigenous haul will be too small to do any real damage.

TO-DO: I had this idea while reading this article: “@must-do @lobster-adjacent @Mi’kmaw if the native lobster fishery accept technology, they must also accept scientific management; if science seys size limit, they must accpt. which they MIGHT be doing”
I know the treatry sez the native fishery should be “moderate ????”, and I think the non-native inshore fishery complainnt its the native are more like commercial and are taking too many lobsters. Also alleges bad practices (taking lobsters at bad times, like spawning??? or molting.).
If the native fisheries want to use technology (GPS, power boats, etc), they must ccept science-based limits (eg, no taking molting lobsters).
