Fisheries Minister Loyola O’Driscoll says “The fishery is the backbone of our province and a key priority for this new government.”
Government is highlighting the vital role the fishing industry has played in supporting the province’s economy and rural communities. It’s World Fisheries Day, a time that recognizes the value of local fisheries in supporting coastal communities and the global economy. As a province that is home to thousands of people involved in the fishing industry, government is celebrating these traditions. The Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture asked kindergarten to grade six students to submit stories about a local, friendly fish harvester. Fisheries Minister Loyola O’Driscoll says “The fishery is the backbone of our province and a key priority for this new government.” He says, “Working together, we will build a resilient fishery that creates jobs, supports young harvesters, and grows the economy of rural Newfoundland and Labrador.
