Press Advisory Attention all Fisheries and Environment Editors Report on Dumping to be Released Nova Scotia's Ecology Action Centre and the Conservation Council of New Brunswick will be holding a press conference to announce the results of a report they commissioned on dumping and discarding in the groundfish fishery. While it is difficult to determine the extent of the problem, fishermen reported that thousands of pounds of fish may be dumped by a single boat on a fishing trip. The report contains the results of interviews with skippers and crew members in the mobile and fixed gear fleets, as well as fisheries representatives and DFO officials. The two groups are deeply concerned about the findings and are releasing the report on Wednesday, Dec. 2 in advance of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans visit to Halifax on Thursday, Dec. 3rd. The press conference will take place at 1:00, Wednesday, December 2nd at the Maritime Museum on Water Street. For more information contact Mark Butler 902-429-2202 David Coon 506-466-4033
