New Brunswick Lobster is lobster at it's best! 🍁 Coming from the pure and icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, New Brunswick lobster is prized for its hard shell, succulent meat and large claws - and it travels exceptionally well. #NationalLobsterDay #DeliciouslyCanadian

In 2021 we surveyed 100 harvesters to understand the perception of risk to species change in the industry. Over 55% noted they see species change happening. The next stage of our study is happening now ✏️ Check out some more models and species below!

“I think they need to back away from this one.” The Trudeau government has sent notices to nearly 4200 fishermen across Canada demanding repayment of COVID relief money rushed out the door in 2020. Many have now been deemed ineligible. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Most of our owner operators work from Small Craft Harbours managed by Harbour Authorities. This financial support for infrastructure is important for all coastal communities who contribute to the #BlueEcomony #Budget2021
Bernadette Jordan@BernJordanCG
🇨🇦’s seafood sector brings in over $6 billion per year. 90% of that product comes through small craft harbours. #Budget2021 invests $300 million to upgrade & build better SC harbours. More jobs in our coastal communities ➡️ a stronger #BlueEconomy for Canada.

Thank you for the opportunity to talk about the Blue Economy and the future of the independent inshore fishery and coastal communities.
Bernadette Jordan@BernJordanCG
Thank you to partners in New Brunswick for meeting with me to discuss Canada's #BlueEconomy strategy. #NB has so many coastal communities that would directly benefit from stronger, more sustainable ocean industries. Together, we’re building a plan to make that happen.
