Nova Scotia Swordfish Harpoon Fishery Goes Recreational

The Blue Fish Radio Show

Holly Isnor is the Marine Campaign Coordinator with the Ecology Action Centre in Nova Scotia, and our guest on The Blue fish Radio Show. Holly will explain why the 184 fishers in Nova Scotia that hold swordfish harpoon licenses are interested in adding the option of filling their quota using hook-and-line, and bringing along paying customers interested in reeling in swordfish that can reach weights of 500 kilograms. Find out what it’s going to take to open up this new big game recreational fishing opportunity.
