Maritime fishermen remain in port to protest rock-bottom lobster prices – “It’s a dysfunctional system,”
The Tyee – Peter Dowd of the Gulf Nova Scotia Bonafide Fishermen’s Association said fishermen need to be invited to the table to discuss how they can secure a fair price. He says people in some parts of Nova Scotia were hearing that the price would be as high as $6 a pound early in the season and then dropped to about $3. “The protest is about how is it possible that the market has changed so drastically,” he said from Antigonish, where fishermen met again to discuss the way forward. “It doesn’t make sense that to most of the fishermen how the market could fluctuate so much.” continued ![[Tyee]](http://thetyee.cachefly.net/ui/img/ico_fishie.png){kind=small}
