Lobster Season On Nova Scotia's Southwest Coast Delayed By Bad Weather

The lobster season on Nova Scotia's southwest coast has been delayed by one day due to high winds a rough seas.

The season was supposed to start Monday but has been put off until Tuesday morning at 6 a.m., said Graeme Gawn president of local 9 with the Maritime Fishermen's Union.

"It's always frustrating because everybody is ready to go and they want to go, but nobody wants to get hurt and nobody wants to see their crews get hurt."

Gawn said the Department of Fisheries and Oceans made the decision Sunday morning on a conference call.
