P.E.I. Lobster Levy Will Launch This Spring

When the lobster fishery begins this spring, P.E.I. will become the first province in the region where a two-cent-per-pound levy will be collected.

The levy will take one cent per pound from P.E.I. fishermen for lobster they bring in and another cent per pound from the buyers. The money will be used for marketing.

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are expected to launch their own levies in 2017.
