Some P.E.I. fishermen set up a blockade of a lobster plant in eastern P.E.I. Wednesday afternoon.
The fishermen are protesting prices they expect they will be paid by processors, reported to be between $2.75 and $3.50 a pound. The P.E.I. Fishermen's Association says $5 a pound is needed for fishermen to break even.
The blockade went up at the Beach Point plant early in the afternoon. RCMP were on the scene and the protest was peaceful. At least two trucks delivering lobster to the plant were turned away.
Nobody on site at the plant was willing to comment.
