Amid chaos of unlicensed baby eel harvest on East Coast, fisheries science suffers

Published

People take part in a science project to watch baby eels on the East River in Nova Scotia in a handout photo. The science project has been cancelled due to unlicenced fishers working on the river during a federal shutdown on the fishery, which occurred due to conservation concerns and incidents of violence on the rivers.
