'Our members are seeing more fish out on the water' — but the P.E.I. herring fishery is staying shut
The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans placed a moratorium on herring fishing in the Gulf of St. Lawrence back in 2022. At the time, the department said urgent action had to be taken to give the stocks a chance to recover. But three years later, scientists say they're seeing no improvement, though some P.E.I. fishing crews hold a different view. Wayne Thibodeau reports.
