The Cape Breton Fish Harvesters Association participated in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans's Lobster Tagging Program that was started in Lobster Fishing Area 27 (LFA27) in the summer of 2021. This allows us to track the movement of lobsters within the LFAs. The project was initiated by DFO, but the CBFHA continued to tag lobsters during our post-season sampling in the ports of Dingwall, North Sydney, and False Bay. During this upcoming fishing season, you may come across a tagged lobster (blue tag) and if this happens, it would be greatly appreciated if it was reported. The instructions on how to do this and a recording sheet are in the photos. You can either send the recorded information to the location on the form or you can send it to our office and we make sure it gets to the right place.
