COLOSSAL CRAB CRISIS: FFAW TO RALLY IN ST. JOHN’S ON MONDAY ARIL 17, 2023
Hundreds of people are expected to demonstrate outside the Confederation Building in St. John’s on Monday, calling attention to the crisis in the snow crab fishery and the need for our elected officials to act. WHY? – Our coastal communities are in crisis. Thousands of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians rely on the snow crab fishery through fishing on boats, processing in plants, and all of the jobs on the wharf and in between. Not to mention the businesses who rely on the economic spinoffs. In 2022, the snow crab fishery was worth over $800 million for our province. Losing that kind of money into our economy this year is going to have harsh consequences in the form of mass unemployment and bankruptcies. >click to read the press release< 12:41
