With the lobster fishery delayed for one month in fishing areas 36 and 37 in southern New Brunswick, others with fisheries set to open in mid-April and early May are waiting to see what will happen to their seasons because of COVID-19.

The association represents fishermen from St. Martins to St. Stephen including the communities of Deer Island and Campobello Island.
