Fishery Notice

The first round of licence area selection for the next two red sea urchin 
seasons (August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2020) is complete.  25 area selection forms 
were submitted to the department prior to the March 9, 2018 deadline.  3 of the 
forms submitted selected the south coast licence area.  An additional 21 
licences were placed in the south coast licence area by default.  These were 
licences that were eligible for the south coast in the last season, and did not 
submit a new selection form for the 2018 to 2020 area selection process.  22 of 
the forms submitted selected the north coast licence area. An additional 64 
licences were placed in the north coast licence area by default. 
After the first round, a total of 24 licences are currently designated to the 
south coast licence area.  86 licence tabs are designated to the north coast 
licence area.  With this licence distribution the south coast individual quota 
will equal approximately 66,792 lb.  The north coast individual quota will 
equal approximately 97,825 lb. The Total Allowable Catch and Area Quotas are 
not yet finalized.

All licence eligibility holders now have the opportunity to change the licence 
area they wish to fish for the next two seasons (August 1, 2018 to July 31, 
2020). Any eligibility holder wishing to change areas must submit their fully 
completed second round area selection form to the department prior to April 4, 
2018.  Any forms submitted after this date will not be considered.  If a fully 
completed and signed second round selection form is not delivered to the 
department prior to April 4, 2018 the licence tab will remain designated to the 
licence area it was placed in following the first round of selection.

The second round selection form is the last opportunity licence eligibility 
holders have to change licence areas for the next two seasons (August 1, 2018 
to July 31, 2020).
