February 13, 2025 Canada, International, International News

According to Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture Minister Gerry Byrne, the EU has indicated it is willing to give back 70 tonnes of northern cod and wants 245 tonnes of red fish in return. According to fisheries management information published by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), the European Union has a total allowable catch of 735 tonnes of northern cod in NAFO Zone 3L — off eastern Newfoundland — for the 2024-2025 season, which runs until June 30.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.
