The Minister of Fisheries wants to close the 2024 elver season. She says the fishery is too dangerous because of poachers. But her only plan is to take 1100 licensed elver fishers off the water and let the criminals have their way.

We think that is unfair to hard working Maritimers. And we think it means she is choosing to support organized crime, rather than law-abiding fishers.

Please take a moment to send the Minister an email voicing your support for a safe, legal elver fishery in 2024.
